Question

Graph the expression sec2 x - sec2 x sin2 x on your calculator. Determine what constant or single function is equivalent to the given expression.

Answer 1

are the 2\s powers?

Answer 2

I got it. Nevermind.

Answer 3

if so

= sec^2 x( 1 - sin^x)
1- sin^2 x = cos^2 x
so we have
sec^2x * cos^2 x
cos^2x
= -------
cos^2 x

Answer 4

= 1

Answer 5

agreed?

Answer 6

Yep

Answer 7

\[\sec^2x-\sec^2x~\sin^2x\]\[\left({1\over\cos^2x}\right)-\left({1\over\cos^2x}\right)~\sin^2x\]\[\left({1\over\cos^2x}\right)-\left({\sin^2x\over\cos^2x}\right)\]\[~~{1-\sin^2x\over\cos^2x}\]\[~~~{\cos^2x\over\cos^2x}\]\[~~~=1\]
