Please help me -tan^2 x+sec^2 x=1

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vinvika [58]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It is identity.

It is true for any x in the domain of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the Pythagorean Identity:

\sin^2(x)+\cos^2(x)=1.

Divide both sides be \cos^2(x):

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

\tan^2(x)+1=\sec^2(x).

\tan^2(x)+1=\sec^2(x) is also known as a Pythagorean Identity as well.

I'm going to apply this last identity I wrote to your equation on the left hand side.

Replacing \sec^2(x) with \tan^2(x)+1:

-\tan^2(x)+[\tan^2(x)+1]

Distribute:

-\tan^2(x)+\tan^2(x)+1

Combine like terms:

0+1

1

This is what we also have on the right hand side so we have confirmed your given equation is an identity.
