1. If x is in [0, 2π] then 2000x is in [0, 4000π]. In each interval of width 2π there are two solutions, so overall there are 2×2000 = 4000 solutions.

2. x=a is an asymptote of the secant function <=> cos a = 0 <=> cot a = cos a / sin a = 0 / ± 1 = 0. So it is true.

3. E is the correct answer. Note that |sec x| >= 1 where it is defined, |sin x| <= 1 where it is defined, and where |sec x| = 1, |cos x| = 1 and so |sin x| = 0. So they cannot intersect.

1) Two solutions only
2) since at x=a tan(a) is undefined, so cot(a) = 0, the statement is true
3) E. sin x
for if sec x = sin x then sinx cos x = 1
i.e. 1/2 sin 2x = 1
So sin 2x = 2 impossible
