Find an expression equivalent to... |dw:1358280084977:dw|

any expression? or is this something needing to involve a certain method? There's a number of ways to find an equivalent.

I am not sure. The answer choice are... A. sec^2 theta B. cot theta C. tan^2 theta D. cos^2 theta

|dw:1358280261643:dw|

|dw:1358280353086:dw|

Oh, my pictures got cut off, but the math is easy to see if you know definitions of trig functions and basic algebra skills.

Yes I can see. Thanks for writing out the equations. So the answer would be A. sec^2 theta?

So can you help with another one?

YEs. Post a new question

Simplify|dw:1358281039137:dw|

Tan^2theta + 1 = sec^2theta This is very useful to remember.

And can you check a question? The question is Which expression is equivalent to cos(pi-theta)? I got -cos theta. Is that right?

Thanks and for my second question, I am still confused. Can you explain more? It was the simplify one

|dw:1358281344118:dw|

Oh ok. So since cos^2 theta can be crossed out, you move the 1st numerator over the 2nd denominator. That makes more sense. Thanks!

Well, it's not being crossed out. It's cos^2 theta divided by itself which is one. And then as fractions go, numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

Oh ok, Do you know how to do this one.... Solve $4\sin ^{2}x+4\sqrt{2}cosx-6=0$

Post this one as a new question up top and close this question.
