Which of the following statements is not true? A. If the probability of an event occurring is 1.5, then it is certain that eve

Answer:

Therefore, we conclude that the statement in (A) is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following sentences:

A) If the probability of an event occurring is 1.5, then it is certain that event will occur.

B) If the probability of an event occurring is 0, then it is impossible for that event to occur.

We know that the range of probability of an event occurring is in the segment [0, 1]. In statement under (A), we have the probability that is equal to 1.5.

Therefore, we conclude that the statement in (A) is incorrect.

Prove this trigonometric equation;<br><br> - tan^2x + sec^2x = 1,

alekssr [168]

Hey there :)

- tan²x + sec²x = 1 or 1 + tan²x = sec²x

sin²x + cos²x = 1
Divide the whole by cos²x

$\frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x} + \frac{cos^2x}{cos^2x} = \frac{1}{cos^2x}$

$\frac{sinx}{cosx} = tanx$ so $\frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x} = tan^2x$
and
$\frac{1}{cosx} = secx$ so $\frac{1}{cos^2x} = sec^2x$

Therefore,
tan²x + 1 = sec²x
Take tan²x to the other side {You will have the same answer}

1 = - tan²x = sec²x or sec²x - tanx = 1
