ANSWER

{ \sec}(e) = \pm \:   \sqrt{\frac{11}{8} }

EXPLANATION

We use the Pythagorean Identity,

{ \sec}^{2} (e) = 1 +  { \tan}^{2} (e)

It was given that,

{ \tan}^{2} (e) =  \frac{3}{8}

We substitute the values into the identity to obtain,

{ \sec}^{2} (e) = 1 +   \frac{3}{8}

{ \sec}^{2} (e) = \frac{11}{8}

We take square root of both sides to get,

{ \sec}(e) = \pm \:   \sqrt{\frac{11}{8} }

Answer:

sec e = √(11/8) ⇒ answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some identities in trigonometry

# sin²x + cos²x = 1

- Divide both sides by cos²x

∴ sin²x/cos²x + cos²x/cos²x = 1/cos²x

∵ sinx/cosx = tanx

∴ sin²x/cos²x = tan²x

∵ cos²x/cos²x = 1

∵ 1/cosx = secx

∴ 1/cos²x = sec²x

* Now lets write the new identity

# tan²x + 1 = sec²x

- Let x = e

∴ tan²e + 1 = sec²e

- Substitute the value of tan²e in the identity

∵ tan²e = 3/8

∴ 3/8 + 1 = sec²e

- Change the 1 to the fraction 8/8

∴ 3/8 + 8/8 = sec²e ⇒ add the fractions

∴ 11/8 = sec²e

- Take square root for the two sides to find sec e

∴ sec e = √(11/8)

∴ The answer is B

How old am I if 400 reduced by 3 times my age is 241? Can I please have an explanation..
OLEGan [10]

Given :

400 reduced by 3 times my age is 241

To Find :

My age .

Solution :

Let, age is x .

So , expressing given condition mathematically , we get :

400-3x=241\\\\3x=400-241\\\\3x=159\\\\x = 53

Therefore, the age is 53 years.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Let’s figure this out. I need sum help.
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

48/25

Step-by-step explanation:

dividing fractions is multiplying by reciprocal of second numbers so (6/5)/(5/8)=(6/5)*(8/5)so (6*8)/(5*5)=48/25
