Answer: The solution is two distinct real zeros.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 6 from both sides:

$x^2-3x-6=6-6\\x^2-3x-6=0$

Calculate the discriminant:

$D=b^2-4ac$

Where:

a=1

b=-3

c=-6

Then:

$D=(-3)^2-4(1)(-6)=33$

By definition, when $D>0$ the solution is two distinct real zeros.

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
