Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

$1 - \sqrt{x} \neq \: 0 \\ \\ \therefore \: 1 \neq \sqrt{x} \\ \\ {1}^{2} \neq ({ \sqrt{x}) }^{2} \\ \\ 1 \neq \: x \\$

Hence, x will take values other than 1.

Given that

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(sec α - tan α)(sec α + tan α) = sec^2 α - tan^2α

But sec^2 α = 1 + tan^2 α so

sec^2 α - tan^2α = 1 + tan^2 α - tan^2α

= 1

so 1 = (sec α - tan α)(sec α + tan α) = 1/4 * x where x is sec α + tan α

1/4 * x = 1

x = 4.
