sec theta +tan theta=p then sin theta=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(sec theta+tan theta)^2=p^2 (sec ^2 theta= tan ^2 theta+2 tan theta sec theta)=p^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1+2 tan theta sec theta=p^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1+2 sin theta/cos theta*1/cos theta=p^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 sin theta/cos^2 theta=p^2-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 sin thetA/1-sin^2 theta=p^2-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2sin theta-2/sin theta=p^2-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1+sin theta =p cos theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then @campbell_st

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well if you want to square it then its \[\sec2(\theta) + \tan^2(\theta) + 2\tan(\theta)\sec(\theta) = p\] I don't understand how you said sec^2 + tan^2 = 1 as sec^2 = tan^2 + 1so if you substitute its tan^2 + 1 + tan^2 + 2tansec = p

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

oops \[\sec^2(\theta) + \tan^(\theta) + 2\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta) = p\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

I would have used the fact that \[\sec(\theta) + \tan(\theta) = p...so..... \frac{1}{\cos(\theta)} + \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} = p\] then \[\frac{1 + \sin(\theta) }{\cos(\theta)} = p\] then solved for sin(theta)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1+sin theta=p cos theta

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

yep... then you can find sin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin theta=p cos theta-1

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well that makes sense to me looking at the question you posted... I'm not sure of the circumstances of the question... and just went with the obvious using a little knowledge of trig..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope. i need answer in p form without trigonometric function in answer
