Find the general solution of the following equation:

\[\sec x = \sqrt{2}\]
Sum

Solution

We have:
\[\sec x = \sqrt{2}\] (or) 

\[\cos x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]
The value of x satisfying \[\cos x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] is \[\frac{\pi}{4}\]
∴ \[\cos x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]
⇒ \[\cos x = \cos \frac{\pi}{4}\]
⇒ \[x = 2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}\],
\[n \in Z\]
