How solve the equation for exact solutions in the interval (0,2pi) with 4secx+5=13?
4secx+5=13 subtract 5 from both sides
4secx = 8 divide both sides by 4
secx = 2
If the secx = 2, then cosx = 1/2
And this happens at x = pi/3 and x = 5pi/3
4 sec x +5 = 13
4 sec x = 8
sec x = 2
1/cos x = 2
cos x = 1/2
x = 1.0472 R 5.236 R or 60 degrees and 300 degrees (pi/3 and 5pi/3)
