sec^2(60)-tan^2(60)

sec^{2} (6 0^{\circ}) - tan^{2} (6 0^{\circ})

1

Solution steps

sec^{2} (6 0^{\circ}) - tan^{2} (6 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

sec (6 0^{\circ}) = 2

sec (6 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}

= 2

Use the following trivial identity:

tan (6 0^{\circ}) = 3

tan (6 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}

= 3

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

Simplify

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

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

(3)^{2} = 3

(3)^{2}

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

= 2^{2} - 3

2^{2} = 4

= 4 - 3

Subtract the numbers:

4 - 3 = 1

= 1

= 1

45 cos (6 5^{\circ})

sin (4 5^{\circ}) + cos (4 5^{\circ}) + tan (9 0^{\circ})

arctan (0.95)

arctan (\frac{10}{12})

tan (120 0^{\circ})
