Prove that 1 + tan^2 x = sec^2 x

We know that tan x = sin x/cos x and so tan 2 x = sin 2 x/cos 2 x. We also know that sin 2 x + cos 2 x = 1 because this is a Pythagorean identity. We can rewrite the left hand side as (cos 2 x + sin 2 x)/cos...

In a science experiment a substance is decaying exponentially. Its mass, M grams, at time t minutes is given by M=300e^(-0.05t). Find the time taken for the mass to decrease to half of its original value.

Firstly, calculate the initial value of of M, by substituting t = 0 into the equation M=300e -0.05t Initially, M 0 = 300e 0 =300 x 1 = 300When the substance mass has decreased to half its initial value, M = ...
