precal question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hint: sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still dont understand lol @rizwan_uet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in question 3 the numerator is sin^2 x + cos^2 x as sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1 now put that value in the fraction you have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put 1 instead of sin^2 x + cos^2 x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/ cos x like that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now tell me what sec x = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as sec x = 1/ cos x => cos x = 1/sec x --> now guess your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d?? @rizwan_uet

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\huge\color{blue}{ \frac{Sin^2x+Cos^2x}{Cosx} =Secx } \] we know that \[\huge\color{red}{ Sin^2x+Cos^2x=1 }\] So the nominator is equal to 1. REWRITE the question. \[\huge\color{blue}{ \frac{\color{red} { 1 } }{Cosx} =Secx } \]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Now, we also know that \[\huge\color{blue}{ \frac{1}{Cos~x} =Sec~x } \] because Sec x and Cos x, (no matter what the x is) are multiplicative inverses of each other.

so it's A then @SolomonZelman
