Answer:
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Note the following identities: tan² x = sec²x - 1
tan² x + sec x = 1
(sec² x -1) + sec x = 1
sec² x + sec x - 2 = 0
(sec x + 2)(sec x - 1) = 0
sec x + 2 = 0 sec x - 1 = 0
sec x = -2 sec x = 1
Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve these equations graphically, you plot each one, then identify the coordinates of the point of intersection.
The first equation can be graphed using the y-intercept of -1 and the slope of 2.
The second equation has a y-intercept of 18/3 = 6, and a slope of -1/3. The x-intercept of 18 is off the chart, so the slope and intercept are a good way to plot this line, too.
__
The slope is the "rise" divided by the "run". A slope of 2 means the line goes up 2 units for each unit to the right. A slope of -1/3 means the line goes down 1 unit for each 3 units to the right.
The solution is (x, y) = (3, 5).
