### can someone help me with this question quickly I need it by tomorrow is really confusing pleaseeee......I'm desperateconsider the equation cos^2 θ+ tan^2 θ=2a.graphically determine a solution to the equation, to the nearest hundredth of a radian.b.verify the solution by substitution. complete at least one verification for each set of coterminal angle...pleaseeee help

a) As you can see in the graph below, we can plot both sides of the equation. The first solution is: 0.905

b) Checking:

$cos\left(0.905\right)^2+tan\left(0.905\right)^2=0.3815+1.621\approx2$cos(0.905)2+tan(0.905)2=0.3815+1.6212

So the solution is correct.

a) Make sure your calculator is in radian mode. enter y1 = cos^2(x) + tan^2(x) and y2 = 2

Find an intersection point. The first one in Q1 is at x = 0.90 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

b) substitute x = 0.9 into cos^2(x) + tan^2(x) = 2

because 0.9 is a rounded value, you will not get a value that is exactly 2, but it will be close to 2.

You must also verify an intersection that is part of a different section of the graph/curve, e.g. x = 2.24 (rounded).

To do this, substitute x = 2.24 into cos^2(x) + tan^2(x) = 2

You will (again) get a value very close to 2.
