From the facts given, the swimming pool and the floor of the gym has the same in size. The pool has a dimension of 75 ft by 60 ft. Basically, the possible size of the gym floor is also 75 ft by 60 ft.
First, factor out a 3.
3(x² - 9)
In any quadratic ax² + bx + c, we can split the bx term up into two new terms which we want to equal the product of a and c.
In this case, we have x² + 0x - 9. (the 0x is a placeholder)
We want two numbers that add to 0 and multiply to get -9.
Obviously, these numbers are 3 and -3.
Now we have 3(x² + 3x - 3x - 9).
Let's factor.
3(x(x+3)-3(x+3))
<u>3(x-3)(x+3)</u>
There are multiple shortcuts which you could make here, FYI:
Instead of splitting the middle, if your a value is 1, you can go straight to that step (x+number)(x+other number).
Whenever you have a difference of squares, like a²-b², that factors to (a+b)(a-b).
Answer:
tan²x + 1 = sec²x is identity
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to find this identity
∵ sin²x + cos²x = 1 ⇒ identity
- Divide both sides by cos²x
∵ sin x ÷ cos x = tan x
∴ sin²x ÷ cos²x = tan²x
- Lets find the second term
∵ cos²x ÷ cos²x = 1
- Remember that the inverse of cos x is sec x
∵ sec x = 1/cos x
∴ sec²x = 1/cos²x
- Lets write the equation
∴ tan²x + 1 = 1/cos²x
∵ 1/cos²x = sec²x
∴ than²x + 1 = sec²x
- So we use the first identity sin²x + cos²x = 1 to prove that
tan²x + 1 = sec²x
∴ tan²x + 1 = sec²x is identity
