Prove identity: Sec^6x-tan^6x= 1+3tan^2xsec^2x

<span>This time, we start from the left side.
sec^6x-tan^6x =(sec^2x)^3-(tan^2x)^3

Then, use the identity:

a^3-b^3 = (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)

we get (sec^2x-tan^2x)(sec^4x+sec^2x tan^2x+ tan^4x)
Since (tan^2x+1=sec^2x)
We have \((\sec^2x-\tan^2x) = 1\).

So, (sec^2x-tan^2x)(sec^4x+sec^2x tan^2x+tan^4x)
(=sec^4x+sec^2xtan^2x+tan^4x)

Then consider (sec^4x), (sec^4x = sec^2x (sec^2x) = sec^2x(tan^2x+1) = sec^2x tan^2x+ sec^2x)

Consider (tan^4x), (tan^4x = tan^2x (tan^2x) = tan^2x(sec^2x+1) = sec^2x tan^2x- tan^2x)

Substitute the two back to (sec^4x+sec^2x tan^2x+tan^4x, and simplify it.

With the help of the identity sec^2x-tan^2x = 1, you should be able to get the right side.</span>

Log 24 base 5 - log 6 base 5
Jet001 [13]
To subtract logs, you need to use the log rule, that when you subtract logs, you divide the two arguments and keep the base if it is the same. So divide 24 by 6 and you get 4. So the answer to your question is Log 4 base 5. Hope this helps.

What would be the coordinates of A(−9,12)
hammer [34]

Answer:

(12, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming it was rotated about the origin.

180 degrees clockwise would give the point ((9, 12).

Then if this point is roated 90 degrees anti-clockwise it would end up at the point (12,9)
