<h3>Answer:  24*sqrt(2)</h3>

=========================================================

Work Shown:

A = 1+sqrt(2)

B = 1-sqrt(2)

-------------------

Using A and B, let's add and subtract those values

A+B = (1+sqrt(2))+(1-sqrt(2))

A+B = 1+sqrt(2)+1-sqrt(2)

A+B = 1+1+sqrt(2)-sqrt(2)

A+B = 2

and

A-B = (1+sqrt(2))-(1-sqrt(2))

A-B = 1+sqrt(2)-1+sqrt(2)

A-B = 1-1+sqrt(2)+sqrt(2)

A-B = 2sqrt(2)

-------------------

Next, square both sides of the A equation

A^2 = (1+sqrt(2))^2

A^2 = (1+sqrt(2))(1+sqrt(2))

A^2 = 1(1+sqrt(2))+sqrt(2)(1+sqrt(2))

A^2 = 1+sqrt(2)+sqrt(2)+sqrt(2)*sqrt(2)

A^2 = 1+2sqrt(2)+2

A^2 = 3+2sqrt(2)

-------------------

Do the same for B

B^2 = (1-sqrt(2))^2

B^2 = (1-sqrt(2))(1-sqrt(2))

B^2 = 1(1-sqrt(2))-sqrt(2)(1-sqrt(2))

B^2 = 1-sqrt(2)-sqrt(2)-sqrt(2)*(-sqrt(2))

B^2 = 1-2sqrt(2)+2

B^2 = 3-2sqrt(2)

There's a bit of nice symmetry going on with A^2 and B^2, due to A and B having similar symmetric structures themselves.

-------------------

Lets add A^2 to B^2

A^2+B^2 = (3+2sqrt(2)) + (3-2sqrt(2))

A^2+B^2 = 3+2sqrt(2) + 3-2sqrt(2)

A^2+B^2 = 3+3+2sqrt(2)-2sqrt(2)

A^2+B^2 = 6

-------------------

Now onto the final event

We'll use the difference of squares rule twice

Afterward, apply substitution using the previous sections above.

A^4 - B^4 = (A^2)^2 - (B^2)^2

A^4 - B^4 = (A^2-B^2)(A^2+B^2)

A^4 - B^4 = (A-B)(A+B)(A^2+B^2)

A^4 - B^4 = (2sqrt(2))(2)(6)

A^4 - B^4 = 2*6*2*sqrt(2)

A^4 - B^4 = 24*sqrt(2)

(1+sqrt(2))^4 - (1-sqrt(2))^4 = 24*sqrt(2)

-------------------

To check this with your calculator, you can type in the following

(1+sqrt(2))^4 - (1-sqrt(2))^4 - 24*sqrt(2)

The result you should get should be 0, or very close to it

I'm using the property that if x = y, then x-y = 0.

Solve this identity, where the angles involved are acute angles.
Bas_tet [7]

We have proven that the trigonometric identity [(tan θ)/(1 - cot θ)] + [(cot θ)/(1 - tan θ)] equals 1 + (secθ * cosec θ)

<h3>How to solve Trigonometric Identities?</h3>

We want to prove the trigonometric identity;

[(tan θ)/(1 - cot θ)] + [(cot θ)/(1 - tan θ)] = 1 + sec θ

The left hand side can be expressed as;

[(tan θ)/(1 - (1/tan θ)] + [(1/tan θ)/(1 - tan θ)]

⇒ [tan²θ/(tanθ - 1)] - [1/(tan θ(tanθ - 1)]

Taking the LCM and multiplying gives;

(tan³θ - 1)/(tanθ(tanθ - 1))

This can also be expressed as;

(tan³θ - 1³)/(tanθ(tanθ - 1))

By expansion of algebra this gives;

[(tanθ - 1)(tan²θ + tanθ.1 + 1²)]/[tanθ(tanθ(tanθ - 1))]

Solving Further gives;

(sec²θ + tanθ)/tanθ

⇒ sec²θ * cotθ + 1

⇒ (1/cos²θ * cos θ/sin θ) + 1

⇒ (1/cos θ * 1/sin θ) + 1

⇒ 1 + (secθ * cosec θ)

Solve the system of equations. <br>5y-4x = -7 <br>2y+4y = 14​
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

5y-4x= -7 :

Slope = \frac{1.600}{2.000} = 0.800

<em>x </em>- <em>intercept =  </em>\frac{7}{4} = 1.75000

<em>y - intercept =  - </em>\frac{7}{5} =  -1.40000  <------both of these numbers a negative

----------------------------------------------

2y+4y = 14 :

<em>y = </em>\frac{7}{3} = 2.333

----------------------------------------------

<em>Hope this helped & good luck <333</em>
