If 2tan2x−5secx=1 for exactly 7 distinct values of x∈0,nπ2,n∈N then the greatest value of n is
We have 2tan2x−5secx=1
⇒2sec2x−1−5secx=1⇒2sec2x−5secx−3=0
⇒secx−32secx+1=0
⇒secx=3 or secx=-12
⇒cosx=13
Which gives two values of x in each of 0,2π, (2π,4π], (4π,6π] and one value in 6π,6π+π2 .
∴greatest value of n = 15.
