Answer:

-1 (negative one)

Step-by-step explanation:

We operate as with a product of binomials, and once expanded we combine like terms:

(tan(x)-sec(x))*(tan(x)+sec(x))=\\=tan^2(x)+tan(x)*sec(x)-sec(x)*tan(x)-sec^2(x)=\\=tan^2(x)-sec^2(x)

and now we write tan and sec in terms of their basic trig expressions (tan(x)=\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}, and sec(x)=\frac{1}{cos(x)}):

tan^2(x)-sec^2(x)=\frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)} -\frac{1}{cos^2(x)} =\\=\frac{sin^2(x)-1}{cos^2(x)}

From the Pythagorean identity: sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1, we see that sin^2(x)-1=-cos^2(x), so we replace this in the expression above, so we are able to cancel the factor cos^2(x):

\frac{sin^2(x)-1}{cos^2(x)}=\frac{-cos^2(x)}{cos^2(x)} =-1

Answer:

-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

(tanx- secx) (tanx+ secx).

= tan^2 x + tanx sec x- tanx sec x - sec^2x

= tan^2 x - sec^2 x.

But sec^2 x = 1 + tan^2 x

so tan^2 x - sec^2 x = -1

What is the solution to the system of equations? x=4y 6 x-3y=4
ahrayia [7]
If you graph the two equations then you will find that they intersect at (-2,-2).

You then have to check your answer.

x=4y+6
(-2)=4(-2)+6
-2=-8+6
-2=-2

x-3y=4
(-2)-3(-2)=4
-2+6=4
4=4

zaharov [31]

The missing part of the question is "For what amount of driving do the two plans cost the same"

The amount of driving that do the two plans cost the same is 450 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Isabel will rent a car for the weekend. She can choose one of two plans

  • The first plan has an initial fee of $46 and costs an additional $0.13 per mile driven
  • The second plan has an initial fee of $55 and costs an additional $0.11 per mile driven

We need to find for what amount of driving do the two plans cost the same

Assume that she will drive for d miles

The first plan:

∵ The initial fee is $46

∵ The additional cost is 0.13 per mile

∵ She will drive for d miles

- The cost of her trip is the sum of $46 and the product of

   0.13 and d

∴ The cost = 46 + 0.13 d ⇒ (1)

The second plan:

∵ The initial fee is $55

∵ The additional cost is 0.11 per mile

∵ She will drive for d miles

- The cost of her trip is the sum of $55 and the product of

   0.11 and d

∴ The cost = 55 + 0.11 d ⇒ (2)

∵ The cost of the two plans is the same

- Equate (1) and (2) to find d

∴ 46 + 0.13 d = 55 + 0.11 d

- Subtract 46 from both sides

∴ 0.13 d = 0.11 d + 9

- Subtract 0.11 d from both sides

∴ 0.02 d = 9

- Divide both sides by 0.02

∴ d = 450

The amount of driving that do the two plans cost the same is 450 miles
