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.

Answer:

y = \dfrac{1}{3}x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is in slope-intercept form,

y = mx + b,

where m is the slope.

The slope of the given line is 1/3, so m = 1/3.

Parallel lines have equal slopes, so the slope of the parallel line is also 1/3.

y = 1/3 x + b

Now we can find the equation of the parallel line through point (6, 3) by using the given point's coordinates for x and y and solving for b.

3 = (1/3)(6) + b

3 = 2 + b

b = 1

Equation: y = \dfrac{1}{3}x + 1

Where is the solution located on a graph a system of equations?
geniusboy [140]
For a system of two variables and two equations, each equation will be a linear graph, and where the lines intersect is the solution as an ordered pair (x,y). If the lines don’t intersect (they’re parallel) so there is no unique solution.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

                                 ~~~~~~Hello There~~~~~~

1. Since 7d is our expression, and d = 6, that means we have to multiply.

2. The product of 7 and 6 is 42, meaning 42 is our answer.

3. Our final answer is 42.

Hope this helped!
