Answer:

-0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

-8= 2/x

multiply both sides by x -> -8x =2

divide both sides by -8 -> x=2/-8

Ans= -1/4 = -0.25

Prove that (Root of Sec A - 1 / Root of Sec A + 1) + (Root of Sec A + 1 / Root of Sec A - 1) = 2 cosec A

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to prove that:

(Root of Sec A - 1 / Root of Sec A + 1) + (Root of Sec A + 1 / Root of Sec A - 1) = 2 cosec A.

Firstly, 1 / cos A = sec A, 1 / sin A = cosec A and tanA = sinA / cosA.

Also, 1 + tan²A = sec²A; sec²A - 1 = tan²A

$\frac{\sqrt{secA-1} }{\sqrt{secA+1} } +\frac{\sqrt{secA+1} }{\sqrt{secA-1} } =\frac{(\sqrt{secA-1)}(\sqrt{secA-1})+(\sqrt{secA+1)}(\sqrt{secA+1}) }{(\sqrt{secA+1})(\sqrt{secA-1}) } \\\\=\frac{secA-1+(secA+1)}{\sqrt{sec^2A-secA+secA-1} } \\\\=\frac{2secA}{\sqrt{sec^2A-1} } \\\\=\frac{2secA}{\sqrt{tan^2A} } \\\\=\frac{2secA}{tanA} \\\\=\frac{2*\frac{1}{cosA} }{\frac{sinA}{cosA} }\\\\= 2*\frac{1}{cosA}*\frac{cosA}{sinA}\\\\=2*\frac{1}{sinAA}\\\\=2cosecA$
