Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

"8 less than double a number is ten" can be converted into an algebraic equation.

-8 + 2x = 10

Then simplify.

2x = 18 (add 8 to both sides)

x = 9 (both sides divided by two)

Based on Pythagorean identities, which equation is true? A. Sin^2 theta -1= cos^2 theta B. Sec^2 theta-tan^2 theta= -1 C. -cos^2
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

our basic Pythagorean identity is cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1

we can derive the 2 other using the listed above.

1. (cos²(x) + sin²(x))/cos²(x) = 1/cos²(x)

1 + tan²(x) = sec²(x)

2.(cos²(x) + sin²(x))/sin²(x) = 1/sin²(x)

cot²(x) + 1 = csc²(x)

A. sin^2 theta -1= cos^2 theta

this is false

cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1

isolating cos²(x)

cos²(x) = 1-sin²(x), not equal to sin²(x)-1

B. Sec^2 theta-tan^2 theta= -1

1 + tan²(x) = sec²(x)

sec²(x)-tan(x) = 1, not -1

false

C. -cos^2 theta-1= sin^2

cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1

sin²(x) = 1-cos²(x), our 1 is positive not negative, so false

D. Cot^2 theta - csc^2 theta=-1

cot²(x) + 1 = csc²(x)

isolating 1

1 = csc²(x) - cot²(x)

multiplying both sides by -1

-1 = cot²(x) - csc²(x)

TRUE
