Find the principal and general solution of `sec x = 2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Particular solution: `x=pi/3`
General solution: `x=2n pi pm pi/3, n in mathbbZ`

`secx=2`
`implies secx=sec\ pi/3`
`implies x=pi/3`
Thus, the particular solution is `x=pi/3`.
`secx=2`
`cosx=1/2`
