2cosx-cotx=0
2cosx-(cosx/sinx)=0
cosx(2- 1/sinx)=0
cosx=0 or 2=1/sinx
x=0(rejected) or x=360(rejected) sinx=1/2
x=30度 or x=150度
so x=30度 or x=150度

tan^4 θ+4sec^2 θ -9 = 0
tan^4 θ +4(tan^2 θ-1)-9=0
tan^4 θ +4tan^2 θ-4+9=0
tan^4 θ+4tan^2 θ-5=0
(tan^2 θ+5)(tan^2 θ-1)=0
tan^2 θ=-5 (reject as (tanθ)^2 must be +ve) or tan^2 θ=1
tanθ=1 or tan θ=-1
θ=π/4 or θ=5π/4 θ=3π/4 or θ=7π/4
ans: θ=π/4 or θ=3π/4 or θ=5π/4 or θ=7π/4
