Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to write the trignometric expression:
As an algebraic equation.
First, we can focus on the inner expression. Let θ equal the expression:
Take the secant of both sides:
Since secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse side to the adjacent side, this means that the opposite side is:
By substitutition:
Using an double-angle identity:
We know that the opposite side is √(u² -100), the adjacent side is 10, and the hypotenuse is u. Therefore:
Simplify. Therefore:
