$\sec^{2} (x - 1) = 0$

Step 1

Take the specified root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$\sec (x - 1) = \pm \sqrt{0}$

Step 2

Simplify $\pm \sqrt{0}$ .

Step 2.1

Rewrite $0$ as $0^{2}$ .

$\sec (x - 1) = \pm \sqrt{0^{2}}$

Step 2.2

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

$\sec (x - 1) = \pm 0$

Step 2.3

Plus or minus $0$ is $0$ .

$\sec (x - 1) = 0$

Step 3

The range of secant is $y \leq - 1$ and $y \geq 1$ . Since $0$ does not fall in this range, there is no solution.

No solution
