Diagram is attached below

m<PQT=60 and m<PQS=4x+14

m<PQS and m<SQT are same

m<PQT = m<PQS + m<SQT = m<PQS + m<PQS = 2m<PQS

m<PQT = 2m<PQS

So m<PQS = $\frac{m$

Plug in the given information and solve for x

4x + 14 = $\frac{60}{2}$

4x + 14 = 30 (subtract 14 on both sides)

4x = 16 (Divide by 4 on both sides)

x = 4

The value of x is 4

Complete the identity.<br> 1) sec^4 x + sec^2 x tan^2 x - 2 tan^4 x = ?

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Question like this are better answered if there are list of options; However, I'll simplify as far as the expression can be simplified</em>

Given

$sec^4 x + sec^2 x tan^2 x - 2 tan^4 x$

Required

Simplify

$(sec^2 x)^2 + sec^2 x tan^2 x - 2 (tan^2 x)^2$

Represent $sec^2x$ with a

Represent $tan^2x$ with b

The expression becomes

$a^2 + ab- 2 b^2$

Factorize

$a^2 + 2ab -ab- 2 b^2$

$a(a + 2b) -b(a+ 2 b)$

$(a -b) (a+ 2 b)$

Recall that

$a = sec^2x$

$b = tan^2x$

The expression $(a -b) (a+ 2 b)$ becomes

$(sec^2x -tan^2x) (sec^2x+ 2 tan^2x)$

..............................................................................................................................

In trigonometry

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

Subtract $tan^2x$ from both sides

$sec^2x - tan^2x =1 +tan^2x - tan^2x$

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

..............................................................................................................................

Substitute 1 for $sec^2x - tan^2x$ in $(sec^2x -tan^2x) (sec^2x+ 2 tan^2x)$

$(1) (sec^2x+ 2 tan^2x)$

Open Bracket

$sec^2x+ 2 tan^2x$ ------------------This is an equivalence

$(secx)^2+ 2 (tanx)^2$

Solving further;

................................................................................................................................

In trigonometry

$secx = \frac{1}{cosx}$

$tanx = \frac{sinx}{cosx}$

Substitute the expressions for secx and tanx

................................................................................................................................

$(secx)^2+ 2 (tanx)^2$ becomes

$(\frac{1}{cosx})^2+ 2 (\frac{sinx}{cosx})^2$

Open bracket

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

$\frac{1}{cos^2x}+ \frac{2sin^2x}{cos^2x}$

Add Fraction

$\frac{1 + 2sin^2x}{cos^2x}$ ------------------------ This is another equivalence

................................................................................................................................

In trigonometry

$sin^2x + cos^2x= 1$

Make $sin^2x$ the subject of formula

$sin^2x= 1 - cos^2x$

................................................................................................................................

Substitute the expressions for $1 - cos^2x$ for $sin^2x$

$\frac{1 + 2(1 - cos^2x)}{cos^2x}$

Open bracket

$\frac{1 + 2 - 2cos^2x}{cos^2x}$

$\frac{3 - 2cos^2x}{cos^2x}$ ---------------------- This is another equivalence

To the nearest tenth, what is the length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle with a leg of 7 square root 3 inches?

Morgarella [4.7K]

If it's a right triangle, and is also an isosceles triangle, namely two sides are of equal length, that means the other non-right-angles are 45° each, so the triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle, and thus we can apply the 45-45-90 rule, so let's do so. Check the picture below.
