$$\mathrm{tan}\:{x}\:+\mathrm{sec}\:{x}\:=\mathrm{2cos}\:{x} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{sin}\:{x}}{\mathrm{cos}\:{x}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{cos}\:{x}}=\mathrm{2cos}\:{x} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\:−\mathrm{2cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \:{x}\:=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}+{s}−\mathrm{2}{c}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}+{s}−\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{1}−{s}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{s}^{\mathrm{2}} +{s}−\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${s}^{\mathrm{2}} +\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{s}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${s}=−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\pm\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{but}\:−\mathrm{1}\leqslant{s}\leqslant\mathrm{1}\:\Rightarrow\:{s}=−\frac{\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\:=−\frac{\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{solutions}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{0}\leqslant{x}\leqslant\mathrm{2}\pi \\ $$
