number 7 @AZ
i got cosx-1/cosx but then what
can u post the ss again?
remember the identity from the previous question? what does sec^2 (x) - 1 = ??
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @snowflake0531 i got cosx-1/cosx but then what \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) when you're telling us where you got to, it's kind of important to tell us what steps you took to get there otherwise I kind of have to guess how you got there
sec^2 x = 1/cosx 1/sec^2x -1 = cosx -1 so mutliplied together cosx-1/cosx
uh no no no come on, snow you know the rules and that's cheating you can't do \(\dfrac{a}{b-c} \neq \dfrac{a}{b} - \dfrac{a}{c}\) also you have ^2 and you're losing them
oh, oops lol
so just use the identity I told you about because it's the easiest way to go about it haha we know that \(\tan^2 (x) + 1 = \sec^2(x)\) so what is \( 1 - \sec^2(x) = ?\) and then we can replace it in the denominator and then simplify that fraction
-tan^2 x
are you sure? just subtract 1 on both sides, what are you left with? :b
OH my bad
LOL
I meant to write, what is \(\sec^2(x) - 1\) because that's what is in your question
ohh tan^2 x
there you go and now let's simplify \(\dfrac{\sec^2 (x)}{\tan^2(x)}\) change both into sin and cos and simplify
sec^2 x is 1/cos^2 x tan^2 x is sinx^2/cos^2 x sinx^2 /cos^4 x ????
how can i simplify
snow snow flake flake snow flake snow flake snow flake flake snow flake flake snow snow what are you doing
????????????????
\(\sf \dfrac{\dfrac{snow}{flake}}{\dfrac{snow}{flake}} = \dfrac{snow}{flake} \div \dfrac{snow}{flake}\) which is equal to \(\sf\dfrac{snow}{flake} \times \dfrac{flake}{snow}\)
you can't forget how to divide fractions, snow
uh
OHHHHHHHHHH
oops lmaoooo
\( \dfrac{\sec^2 (x)}{\tan^2(x)} = \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{\cos^2(x}}{\dfrac{\sin^2(x)}{\cos^2(x)}}\)
hehe, done now xdddddddddddddddd <3 thank youuuuuuuuuuuu
you're welcome flakesnow!!!
