The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sin^2 \theta \sec \theta + \sqrt{3} \tan \theta = 0 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the equation: \[ \sin^2 \theta \sec \theta + \sqrt{3} \tan \theta = 0 \] We can express \(\sec \theta\) and \(\tan \theta\) in terms of sine and cosine: \[ \sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \quad \text{and} \quad \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \] Substituting these into the equation gives: \[ \sin^2 \theta \cdot \frac{1}{\cos \theta} + \sqrt{3} \cdot \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = 0 \] ### Step 2: Combine the terms Now, we can combine the terms over a common denominator: \[ \frac{\sin^2 \theta + \sqrt{3} \sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = 0 \] For this fraction to be zero, the numerator must be zero (assuming \(\cos \theta \neq 0\)): \[ \sin^2 \theta + \sqrt{3} \sin \theta = 0 \] ### Step 3: Factor the equation We can factor out \(\sin \theta\): \[ \sin \theta (\sin \theta + \sqrt{3}) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(\sin \theta\) Now we have two cases to consider: 1. \(\sin \theta = 0\) 2. \(\sin \theta + \sqrt{3} = 0\) For the first case: \[ \sin \theta = 0 \implies \theta = n\pi \quad (n \in \mathbb{Z}) \] For the second case: \[ \sin \theta = -\sqrt{3} \] However, since the sine function only takes values in the range \([-1, 1]\), \(-\sqrt{3}\) is not a valid solution. ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, the only solution comes from the first case: \[ \theta = n\pi \quad (n \in \mathbb{Z}) \] ### Final Answer The general solution of the equation \( \sin^2 \theta \sec \theta + \sqrt{3} \tan \theta = 0 \) is: \[ \theta = n\pi \quad (n \in \mathbb{Z}) \]
