The first thing to do would be to simplify the equation first. Let's apply the trigonometric functions properties where 1 + tan²x = sec² x. So, we can substitute this to the equation so that it would purely be a function of tangents.

<span>2sec</span>²<span>x-tan</span>⁴<span>x=-1
2(1+tan</span>²x) - tan⁴x = 1
2 + 2 tan²x - tan⁴x + 1 = 0
tan⁴x - 2tan²x + 1 = 0
(tanx -1)² = 0
tanx - 1 = 0
tanx = 1
x = tan⁻¹ 1
x = 45°

So, the solution for the given trigonometric equation is 45° or π/4 radians.

What is the length of segment BC? A coordinate plane is shown. Point B is located at negative 3, negative 2, and point C is loca
Mrac [35]
The length of segment BC can be determined using the distance formula, wherein, d = sqrt[(X_2 - X_1)^2 + (Y_2 - Y_1)^2]. The variable d represent the distance between the two points while X_1, Y_1 and X_2, Y_2 represent points 1 and 2, respectively. Plugging in the coordinates of the points B(-3,-2) and C(0,2) into the equation, we get the length of segment BC equal to 5.

(X+8)(x-8) if necessary combine like terms
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

x² - 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 8)(x - 8)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(x - 8) + 8(x - 8) ← distribute both parenthesis

= x² - 8x + 8x - 64 ← collect like terms

= x² - 64
