Answer:

√x^2-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

√(x+2) * √(x-2)

= √(x+2)(x-2)

Expand

= √x(x)-2x+2x-2(2)

= √x^2-4

Hence the product of the expression will give √x^2-4

For x to be acceptable x^2 - 4 = 0

x^2 = 4

x = ±√4

x = ±2

Acceptable value of x are values that are greater than or equal to ±2

What is sin θ when sec θ = square root of 5? Rationalize the denominator if necessary.
