\bf cot(\theta)=\cfrac{cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)}
\qquad\qquad 
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{1}{cos(\theta)}\quad\qquad  1+tan^2(\theta)=sec^2(\theta)\\\\\\
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}
\qquad \qquad cot(\theta)=\cfrac{cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)}
\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
cot(x)sec^4(x)=cot(x)+2tan(x)+tan^3(x)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \textit{so, let's do the left-hand-side}\\\\
cot(x)sec^2(x)sec^2(x)\implies cot(x)[1+tan^2(x)][1+tan^2(x)]
\\\\\\
cot(x)[1^2+2tan^2(x)+tan^4(x)]
\\\\\\
cot(x)+2tan^2(x)cot(x)+tan^4(x)cot(x)
\\\\\\
cot(x)+2\cdot \cfrac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}\cdot \cfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}+\cfrac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)}\cdot \cfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}
\\\\\\
cot(x)+2\cdot \cfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}+\cfrac{sin^3(x)}{cos^3(x)}\implies \boxed{cot(x)+2tan(x)+tan^3(x)}

How to do part a & b
nata0808 [166]
You can do part a using The Pythagoras theorem:-

30^2 = x^2 + 24^2

x^2 = 30^2 - 14^2 = (30+24)(30-24) =  324

x =  18

10-11d>-5d-4 show step by step
aliya0001 [1]
The first step for solving this is to move the variable to the left side and then change its sign.
10 - 11d + 5d > - 4
Now move the constant to the right side and change its sign.
-11d + 5d > -4 - 10
Collect the terms with a d variable.
-6d > -4 - 10
Calculate the difference on the right side.
-6d > -14
Lastly,, divide both sides of the inequality by -6 and flip the inequality sign to find your final answer.
d < \frac{7}{3}
Let me know if you have any further questions.
