none of these for 0≤x<2π I get x=0∨x≈2.44853

$$\mathrm{none}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{these} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{0}\leqslant{x}<\mathrm{2}\pi\:\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{get}\:{x}=\mathrm{0}\vee{x}\approx\mathrm{2}.\mathrm{44853} \\ $$

my solution let tan x = t (t/(√(1+t^2 ))) + (√(1+t^2 )) −2t −1 = 0 ((t^2 +t+1)/(√(1+t^2 ))) = 2t+1 t^2 +t+1 = (2t+1)(√(1+t^2 ))

if cos x_1 +cos x_2 = 2. correct mr Mjs ? from t_1 = 0 we get x = 2πn { ((x_1 =0)),((x_2 = 2π)) :}

$$\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{1}} +\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:\mathrm{2}. \\ $$ $$\mathrm{correct}\:\mathrm{mr}\:\mathrm{Mjs}\:? \\ $$ $$\mathrm{from}\:\mathrm{t}_{\mathrm{1}} \:=\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{get}\:\mathrm{x}\:=\:\mathrm{2}\pi\mathrm{n}\:\begin{cases}{\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{0}}\\{\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:\mathrm{2}\pi}\end{cases} \\ $$

this is somehow true but the given equation has infinite solutions and it′s asked for 2 solutions x_1 and x_2 . I think x_1 ≠x_2 ∧x_1 ≠x_2 +2nπ but anyway sin x_1 −cos x_2 ≠ any of the given options the question is very strange...
