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.

Vertex form of y=-4x^2+4x-6
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -4x^2 + 4x + 6

Factor out the leading coefficient:

y = -4(x^2 - x) + 6

Complete the square:

y = -4(x^2 - x + (½)^2) + 4(½)^2 + 6

= -4(x-½)^2 + 7
