The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sin^2 x \sec x + \sqrt{3} \tan x = 0 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation using trigonometric identities We know that: - \( \sec x = \frac{1}{\cos x} \) - \( \tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \) Substituting these identities into the equation gives us: \[ \sin^2 x \cdot \frac{1}{\cos x} + \sqrt{3} \cdot \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} = 0 \] ### Step 2: Simplify the equation Multiplying through by \( \cos x \) (assuming \( \cos x \neq 0 \)): \[ \sin^2 x + \sqrt{3} \sin x = 0 \] ### Step 3: Factor the equation We can factor out \( \sin x \): \[ \sin x (\sin x + \sqrt{3}) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Set each factor to zero Now, we set each factor equal to zero: 1. \( \sin x = 0 \) 2. \( \sin x + \sqrt{3} = 0 \) ### Step 5: Solve \( \sin x = 0 \) The general solution for \( \sin x = 0 \) is: \[ x = n\pi \quad \text{(where \( n \) is any integer)} \] ### Step 6: Solve \( \sin x + \sqrt{3} = 0 \) This gives: \[ \sin x = -\sqrt{3} \] However, this is not possible since the range of \( \sin x \) is \([-1, 1]\). Therefore, we discard this case. ### Conclusion The only valid solution comes from \( \sin x = 0 \): \[ x = n\pi \] Thus, the general solution of the equation \( \sin^2 x \sec x + \sqrt{3} \tan x = 0 \) is: \[ \boxed{n\pi} \]
