This is not true.

\tan^2x+\sec^2x=\dfrac{\sin^2x}{\cos^2x}+\dfrac1{\cos^2x}=\dfrac{1-\cos^2x+1}{\cos^2x}=2\sec^2x-1

2\sec^2x-1=1\implies\sec^2x=1\implies\sec x=\pm1\implies x=n\pi

where is n is any integer. So suppose we pick some value of x other than these, say x=\dfrac\pi4. Then

\tan^2\dfrac\pi4+\sec^2\dfrac\pi4=1+2=3\neq1

The trigonometrical identity says : 1+tan^2x = sec^2 x that means

sec^2 x - tan^2 x = 1

However in our question, its tan^2 x + sec^2 x or say sec^2 x + tan^2 x = 1 which is completely against the identity.

Hense answer is False.

Additional information: There is, with a little difference, as equation which is true ie tan^2 x + sec x = 1 for some values of x.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Option C) 4 cubic inches is the volume of the rectangular prism. Step-by-step explanation: It is given that, 108 cubes with an edge length of 1/3 inch are needed to fill a rectangular prism. Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is equal to the volume of the 108 cubes needed to fill that rectangular prism.

Alright, so the rate of change is the same thing as the slope, so we can find this by using the slope formula (which I took a picture of because it's super messy to type it out like this)

Now that we know the slope formula, we need to find the x values and the y values to plug into the equation. We'll say that the years are our x values and the money spent (in billions) are our y values. Now that we've set up an axis, we can create points! Our points would be (2000, 1243) and (2005, 1838)

Now we can plug our points into our equations! On the top of our equation, we'll put (1838-1243), and on the bottom we'll put (2005-2000). When we simplify that, we end up with 595/5, which simplifies to 119. Now we know that the rate of change for the credit cards was 119 billion!
