Answer:

There are 120 students in the choir.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of members who participated in contest = 36

This represents 30% of the total members of choir at the school.

Let,

x be the number of total sutdents

30% of x = 36

$\frac{30}{100}x=36$

0.3x = 36

Dividing both sides by 0.3

$\frac{0.3x}{0.3}=\frac{36}{0.3}\\x=120$

Hence,

There are 120 students in the choir.

Help! How would I solve this trig identity?

Using simpler trigonometric identities, the given identity was proven below.

<h3>How to solve the trigonometric identity?</h3>

Remember that:

$sec(x) = \frac{1}{cos(x)} \\\\tan(x) = \frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}$

Then the identity can be rewritten as:

$sec^4(x) - sen^2(x) = tan^4(x) + tan^2(x)\\\\\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)} = \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)} + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)} \\\\$

Now we can multiply both sides by cos⁴(x) to get:

$\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)} = \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)} + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)} \\\\\\\\cos^4(x)*(\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)}) = cos^4(x)*( \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)} + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)})\\\\1 - cos^2(x) = sin^4(x) + cos^2(x)*sin^2(x)\\\\1 - cos^2(x) = sin^2(x)*sin^2(x) + cos^2(x)*sin^2(x)$
