Solve on the interval [tex]\([0, 2\pi)\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[3 \sec x - 2 = 1\][/tex]

A. [tex]\(\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5\pi}{6}\)[/tex]

B. [tex]\(\frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{5\pi}{3}\)[/tex]

C. 0

D. [tex]\(\frac{2\pi}{3}, \frac{4\pi}{3}\)[/tex]



Answer :

Let's solve the given equation step by step:

Given:
[tex]\[ 3 \sec x - 2 = 1 \][/tex]

1. Add 2 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]\[ 3 \sec x = 3 \][/tex]

2. Divide both sides by 3:
[tex]\[ \sec x = 1 \][/tex]

3. Recall that the secant function is the reciprocal of the cosine function:
[tex]\[ \sec x = \frac{1}{\cos x} \][/tex]
So, if [tex]\(\sec x = 1\)[/tex], then:
[tex]\[ \frac{1}{\cos x} = 1 \][/tex]
This implies:
[tex]\[ \cos x = 1 \][/tex]

4. Determine the values of [tex]\(x\)[/tex] for which [tex]\(\cos x = 1\)[/tex] in the interval [tex]\([0, 2\pi)\)[/tex]. The cosine function equals 1 at:
[tex]\[ x = 0 \][/tex]

So, the solution to the equation [tex]\(3 \sec x - 2 = 1\)[/tex] in the interval [tex]\([0, 2\pi)\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ x = 0 \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct choice is:
C. 0
