sec^2(30)-tan^2(30)

Solution

sec^{2} (3 0^{\circ}) - tan^{2} (3 0^{\circ})

Solution

1

Solution steps

sec^{2} (3 0^{\circ}) - tan^{2} (3 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

sec (3 0^{\circ}) = \frac{2 3}{3}

sec (3 0^{\circ})

sec (x)

periodicity table with

36 0^{\circ} n

cycle:

x 0 3 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} sec (x) 1 \frac{2 3}{3} 22 Undefined - 2 - 2 - \frac{2 3}{3} x 18 0^{\circ} 21 0^{\circ} 22 5^{\circ} 24 0^{\circ} 27 0^{\circ} 30 0^{\circ} 31 5^{\circ} 33 0^{\circ} sec (x) - 1 - \frac{2 3}{3} - 2 - 2 Undefined 22 \frac{2 3}{3}

= \frac{2 3}{3}

Use the following trivial identity:

tan (3 0^{\circ}) = \frac{3}{3}

tan (3 0^{\circ})

tan (x)

periodicity table with

18 0^{\circ} n

cycle:

x 0 3 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} tan (x) 0 \frac{3}{3} 13 \pm \infty - 3 - 1 - \frac{3}{3}

= \frac{3}{3}

= (\frac{2 3}{3})^{2} - (\frac{3}{3})^{2}

Simplify

(\frac{2 3}{3})^{2} - (\frac{3}{3})^{2} : 1

(\frac{2 3}{3})^{2} - (\frac{3}{3})^{2}

(\frac{2 3}{3})^{2} = \frac{2 ^{2}}{3}

(\frac{2 3}{3})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{( 2 3 ) ^{2}}{3 ^{2}}

Apply exponent rule:

(a \cdot b)^{n} = a^{n} b^{n}

(23)^{2} = 2^{2} (3)^{2}

= \frac{2 ^{2} ( 3 ) ^{2}}{3 ^{2}}

(3)^{2} : 3

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

= (3^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= 3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 = 1

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 3

= \frac{2 ^{2} \cdot 3}{3 ^{2}}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= \frac{2 ^{2}}{3}

(\frac{3}{3})^{2} = \frac{1}{3}

(\frac{3}{3})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{( 3 ) ^{2}}{3 ^{2}}

(3)^{2} : 3

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

= (3^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= 3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 = 1

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 3

= \frac{3}{3 ^{2}}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= \frac{1}{3}

= \frac{2 ^{2}}{3} - \frac{1}{3}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{2 ^{2} - 1}{3}

2^{2} - 1 = 3

2^{2} - 1

2^{2} = 4

= 4 - 1

Subtract the numbers:

4 - 1 = 3

= 3

= \frac{3}{3}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= 1

= 1
