Using simpler trigonometric identities, the given identity was proven below.

<h3>How to solve the trigonometric identity?</h3>

Remember that:

sec(x) = \frac{1}{cos(x)} \\\\tan(x) = \frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}

Then the identity can be rewritten as:

sec^4(x) - sen^2(x) = tan^4(x) + tan^2(x)\\\\\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)}  = \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)}  + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)} \\\\

Now we can multiply both sides by cos⁴(x) to get:

\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)}  = \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)}  + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)} \\\\\\\\cos^4(x)*(\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)}) = cos^4(x)*( \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)}  + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)})\\\\1 - cos^2(x) = sin^4(x) + cos^2(x)*sin^2(x)\\\\1 - cos^2(x) = sin^2(x)*sin^2(x) + cos^2(x)*sin^2(x)

Now we can use the identity:

sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1

1 - cos^2(x) = sin^2(x)*(sin^2(x) + cos^2(x)) = sin^2(x)\\\\1 = sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1

Thus, the identity was proven.

The future worth of a certain item or money deposited at a certain percentage is obtained by the equation,

   F = P x (1 + i)^n

F is the future worth, P is present worth, i is the percentage, and n is the number of years.

   n = 2013 - 1938
   n = 75

Substituting the known values,

    300,000 = 100 x (1 + i)^75

The value of i from the equation is 0.1126.

The answer to this item is 11.26%.

Which graph represents the inverse sine function?
hichkok12 [17]
Answer: A.
The inverse sine function is written as sin−1(x) or arcsin(x). Inverse functions swap x- and y-values, so the range of inverse sine is − π/2 to π/2 and the domain is −1 to 1. When evaluating problems, use identities or start from the inside function.
