Solve the simultaneous equations x^2 + y^2 = 9 and y = 3x + 3

y2 = (3x + 3)2 = 9x2 + 18x + 9

x2 + 9x2 + 18x + 9 = 9

10x2 + 18x = 0 (root a: x = 0)

5x + 9 = 0 (root b: x = -1.8)

Given that sin(x)^2 + cos(x)^2 = 1, show that sec(x)^2 - tan(x)^2 = 1 (2 marks). Hence solve for x: tan(x)^2 + cos(x) = 1, x ≠ (2n + 1)π and -2π < x =< 2π(3 marks)

sin(x)2 + cos(x)2 = 1

Dividing by cos(x)2 gives:

tan(x)2 + 1 = sec(x)2 

Which rearranges as:

sec(x)2 - tan(x)<...
