C
sin x = cos x
tan x = 1
x = π4
:
A
sec x sin2x=tan xsin xcos xsin x=tan xtan x sin x=tan xtan x=0 or sin x=1x=0 or x=π2
But sec x and tan x are not defined at x=π2
Therefore, x = 0 is the only solution.

B
2cos2x−3cos x−2=0
Let cos x = t
2t2−3t−2=0t=3±√9−4×2×(−2)2×2t=3±√254t=2 or t=−12
Since cos x cannot be 2, we have
cos x=−12x=2π3
:
D
3sec2x=sec xsec x=0 or sec x=13But sec x≥0 ∀ x
The equation has no solutions.
:
B
sin 2x + cos x=0
2sin x cos x + cos x = 0
cos x(2sin x + 1) = 0
cos x = 0 or sin x = -12
x = π2 or x = -π6
