(tanθ + cotθ)² = sec²θ + csc²θ
<u>Expand left side</u>: tan²θ + 2tanθcotθ + cot²θ
<u>Evaluate middle term</u>: 2tanθcotθ =
= 2
⇒ tan²θ + 2+ cot²θ
= tan²θ + 1 + 1 + cot²θ
<u>Apply trig identity:</u> tan²θ + 1 = sec²θ
⇒ sec²θ + 1 + cot²θ
<u>Apply trig identity:</u> 1 + cot²θ = csc²θ
⇒ sec²θ + csc²θ
Left side equals Right side so equation is verified
Answer:
25 and 17
Step-by-step explanation:
25+17=42
25-17=8
The answer would be choice C.
Perpendicular lines cross each other and form a right angle as you can see marked in the third picture.
