First write everything in terms of sines and cosines.

2 sin x / cos x - (1 / cos x)2 = 0

Multiply by the common denominator, cos2x:

2 sin x cos x - 1 = 0

Solve:

2 sin x cos x = 1

sin 2x = 1

2x = pi/2, or 2x = 5pi/2, or 2x = 9pi/2...

For the first one, 2x = pi/2 --> x = pi/4.

What are solutions to the equation tan squared x minus three equals zero?

Solve for x, where tan² x - 3 = 0. tan² x = 3; then, sec² x = tan² x + 1 = 4, sec x = ±2, and cos x = 1 /sec x = ±½. Now, we know that sin 30° = ½; whence cos 60° = ½. Therefore, if 0 ≤ x < 2π, then x = 60°, 120°, 240°, or 300°; or, in radians, x = ⅓π, ⅔π, 1⅓π, or 1⅔π.
