The equivalent expression of the<u> different of two square</u> is -1

Given the following expressions

a cot α = 1

a = 1/cot α = sinα/cosα

b = 1/cos α

We are to find the expression a² - b²

According to <u>difference of two squares;</u>

a² - b² =  (a + b) (a - b)

Substitute the given expressions into the formula as shown:

a^2 - b^2 = (\frac{sin \alpha}{cos \alpha} )^2 - (\frac{1}{cos \alpha} )^2\\a^2 - b^2=\frac{sin^2 \alpha}{cos^2 \alpha} -\frac{1}{cos ^2 \alpha}\\a^2 - b^2=\frac{sin^2 \alpha-1}{cos^2\alpha}\\a^2 - b^2=\frac{-(1-sin^2\alpha)}{cos^2\alpha} \\a^2 - b^2=\frac{-os^2 \alpha}{cos^2 \alpha}\\a^2 - b^2 = -1

This shows that the equivalent expression of the<u> difference of two squares</u> is -1

Problem 1 Answer: x = 2/3y+8

Show Work:

Step 1: Add 2y to both sides.

3x−2y+2y=24+2y

3x=2y+24

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 = 2y+24/3

x = 2/3y+8

Problem 2 Answer: x=−2y+48

Show Work:

Add -2y to both sides.

x+2y+−2y=48+−2y

x=−2y+48

The value of y would be 20 times more valuable than 12 because the pattern for this table is y=20x. Let me know if I'm right :)
