Establish the identity.tan2x = sec2x - sin2x - cos2x

What will be an ideal response?


tan2 x = sec2 x - 1 = sec2 x - (sin2 x + cos2 x) = sec2 x - sin2 x - cos2 x.

Solve the problem.Bruce is a retired carpenter who builds patio chairs and dog houses that he sells at the local flea market. It takes him 4 hours to build a dog house and 5 hours to build a patio chair. Bruce can work no more than 40 hours per week and he must produce more dog houses than chairs. Write a system of inequalities to describe this situation and solve the system by graphing. Use D for the number of dog houses and P for the number of patio chairs produced in a week.
