1+tan^2(x) = sec^2(x) is the identity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See if you can rearrange that to the equation they have

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

Sec^2(x)=tan^2(x)+1 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the same thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isolate tan^2(x)

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

Oh I thought you meant something else, ok

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

-1=tan^2(x) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what happened to sec^2(x)?

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

I thought I was supposed to factor it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No you're just moving 1 to the other side of the equation

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1428726934105:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What would this give you?

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

tan^2(x)=sec^2(x)-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep. So is the answer true or false?

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

True

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good job
