  1. Solve the equation \(\sec x = 3\), giving the values of \(x\) in radians to two decimal places in the interval \(0 \leqslant x < 2 \pi\).
  2. Show that the equation \(\tan ^ { 2 } x = 2 \sec x + 2\) can be written as \(\sec ^ { 2 } x - 2 \sec x - 3 = 0\).
  3. Solve the equation \(\tan ^ { 2 } x = 2 \sec x + 2\), giving the values of \(x\) in radians to two decimal places in the interval \(0 \leqslant x < 2 \pi\).
