The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sqrt{2} \sec \theta + \tan \theta = 1 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation in terms of sine and cosine We know that: \[ \sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \quad \text{and} \quad \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \] Substituting these into the equation gives: \[ \sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos \theta} + \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{\sqrt{2} + \sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = 1 \] ### Step 2: Clear the fraction Multiplying both sides by \( \cos \theta \) (assuming \( \cos \theta \neq 0 \)): \[ \sqrt{2} + \sin \theta = \cos \theta \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the equation Rearranging gives: \[ \cos \theta - \sin \theta = \sqrt{2} \] ### Step 4: Divide by \(\sqrt{2}\) To simplify, we divide the entire equation by \(\sqrt{2}\): \[ \frac{\cos \theta}{\sqrt{2}} - \frac{\sin \theta}{\sqrt{2}} = 1 \] This can be rewritten using the cosine and sine of angles: \[ \cos \left( \theta + \frac{\pi}{4} \right) = 1 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(\theta\) The general solution for \( \cos x = 1 \) is: \[ x = 2n\pi \quad \text{for } n \in \mathbb{Z} \] Thus, we have: \[ \theta + \frac{\pi}{4} = 2n\pi \] Solving for \(\theta\) gives: \[ \theta = 2n\pi - \frac{\pi}{4} \] ### Final Solution The general solution for the equation \( \sqrt{2} \sec \theta + \tan \theta = 1 \) is: \[ \theta = 2n\pi - \frac{\pi}{4}, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \]

To solve the equation \( \sqrt{2} \sec \theta + \tan \theta = 1 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation in terms of sine and cosine We know that: \[ \sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \quad \text{and} \quad \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \] Substituting these into the equation gives: ...
