Sec^2 x - 1 = tan^2x

Proof:
Sec^2x = 1+ tan^2x

1/cos^2x = 1 + sin^2x/cos^2x

<span>1/cos^2x - sin^2x/cos^2x = 1
</span>Using common denominator:
(1-sin^2x)/cos^2x = 1
sin^2x + cos^2 x = 1
cos^2 x = 1 - sin^2x
Substituting : 
cos^2x/<span>cos^2x = 1
</span>1 = 1
Left hand side = right hand side

Answer:

option B tan²x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to simplify the expression given as ( sec^{2}x-1 )

Since sec x = \frac{1}{cosx}

so ( \frac{1}{cosx} )² - 1 = \frac{1}{cos^{2} x} - 1

=\frac{1-cos^{2}x }{cos^{2}x}

= \frac{sin^{2}x }{cos^{2}x}

= tan²x

Therefore, option B tan²x is the answer.

What are the solutions to the equation?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

x = -2 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

f(x) = x+2

g(x) = -x²+4

The solution to the equation f(x) = g(x)

=> x+2 = -x²+4

=> x²+x = 4-2

=> x²+x -2 = 0

By factorisation

=> x²+2x-x -2 = 0

=> x(x+2) -1(x+2)

=> (x+2) (x-1)

x = -2 and 1

Need help finding out what 3x=y and x-2y = 10
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

x=-2, y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple substitution.

Since y is isolated in one of the equations already, you can plug it into the second equation.

x - 2(3x) = 10

x - 6x = 10

-5x = 10

x = -2

Sub. x = -2 into 3x = y:

3(-2) = y

y = -6
