8x^2 - 2x = 1
8x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0

(2 +/-√(-2)^2 - 4(8)(-1))/ 2(8)
(2 +/-√4 + 32) / 16
(2 +/-√36) / 16
(2 +/- 6) / 16

2+6/16
1/2

2-6/16
-1/4

now since they want the sum of the roots
1/2 - 1/4

sum = 1/4

8x^2-2x-1=0

8x^2-4x+2x-1=0

4x(2x-1)+1(2x-1)=0

(4x+1)(2x-1)=0

x=1/2 and -1/4

So the sum is 1/2-1/4=1/4

1/4

Given that tan0= -1, what is the value of sec0, for 3pi/2&lt;0&lt;2pi?
Maru [420]

Answer: Choice B. sqrt(2)

Draw out a right triangle in quadrant IV as you see in the attached image below. The horizontal and vertical legs are both 1 unit long. To ensure that the signs are properly set up, I am making the vertical leg BC have a label "-1" to mean this is below the x axis. Note how

tan(theta) = opposite/adjacent = BC/AB = -1/1 = -1

Use the pythagorean theorem to find that the hypotenuse AC is sqrt(2) units long

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(1)^2 + (1)^2 = c^2

2 = c^2

c^2 = 2

c = sqrt(2)

The secant of theta is the ratio of the hypotenuse over the adjacent side, so we end up with

sec(theta) = hypotenuse/adjacent

sec(theta) = AC/AB

sec(theta) = sqrt(2)/1

sec(theta) = sqrt(2) which is why choice B is the answer
