(D) Given the equation $8\sec^2	heta - 6\sec	heta + 1 = 0$. Let $x = \sec	heta$. The equation becomes $8x^2 - 6x + 1 = 0$. Factoring the quadratic: $8x^2 - 4x - 2x + 1 = 0 \implies 4x(2x - 1) - 1(2x - 1) = 0$. $(4x - 1)(2x - 1) = 0$. So,$x = \frac{1}{4}$ or $x = \frac{1}{2}$. This means $\sec	heta = \frac{1}{4}$ or $\sec	heta = \frac{1}{2}$. Since the range of $\sec	heta$ is $(-\infty, -1] \cup [1, \infty)$,the values $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ are not possible. Therefore,there are no real roots for $	heta$. The number of roots is $0$.

What is the number of roots of the quadratic equation $8\sec^2\theta - 6\sec\theta + 1 = 0$?
