Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

(x + 2)2 – 2(x + 2) – 15 = 0

let : t= x+2

t²-2t-15 =0

(t-5)(t+3)=0

t-5=0 or t+3=0

t=5 or t=-3

but : t =x+2

if : t=5 x+2 =5 so : x=3

if : t= -3 x+2 = -3 so : x= -5

conclusion two solutions : 3 , -5

Simplify sin^2y/sec^2 y−1 to a single trigonometric function

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

$\frac{ { \sin}^{2} y}{ { \sec}^{2}y - 1 } = { \cos }^{2} y$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that ${ \tan }^{2} y = { \sec }^{2} y - 1$

Also , ${ \tan}^{2} y = \frac{ { \sin }^{2} y}{ { \cos }^{2}y }$

So ,

$\frac{ { \sin }^{2}y }{ { \sec }^{2}y - 1 } = \frac{ { \sin}^{2} y}{ { \tan }^{2} y} = \frac{ { \sin }^{2}y }{ \frac{ { \sin}^{2} y}{ { \cos}^{2}y } } = { \cos }^{2} y$

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

2344.79686

Step-by-step explanation:

The fifth place to the right of the decimal point is the hundred-thousandth spot. Since the number following is 7, we round up, thus resulting in 2344.79686.

(9^(3))^(3) = 9 9 9 0 9 6 81

zmey [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\because \: ( {a}^{m} )^{n} = {a}^{m \times n} \\ \\ \therefore ( {9}^{3} )^{3} = {9}^{3 \times 3} = {9}^{9} \\$
