sqrtθ sec(θ/2)+ 2 = 0
need to solve in radians
anyhow, the graphs y1=(-2)/√x
and y2=sec(x/2) do not intersect so there is no answer
(they come close to intersecting at θ=6 radians)
check √6*sec(3)=-2.48
if the equation was sqrtθ sec(θ/2)- 2 = 0
then θ=1.715 radians approximately is a solution
1.715 radians = about 98.26 degrees
