Problem 1RE: 1. Give the measures of the complement and the supplement of an angle measuring 35°.
Question
Find all solutions in the interval from 0 < theta
The equation presented is:

\[ 4 \cos \theta - 2 \sec \theta = 0 \]

This trigonometric equation involves the cosine and secant functions, where:

- \(\cos \theta\) represents the cosine of angle \(\theta\).
- \(\sec \theta\) is the secant of \(\theta\), which is the reciprocal of the cosine, defined as \(\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}\).

To solve this equation, you can manipulate it to find the values of \(\theta\) that satisfy the equation. This typically involves finding a common expression or simplifying using trigonometric identities.
