Prove the trigonometric identity tan^2(x)+1=sec^2(x)

We can start with the identity sin 2 (x)+cos 2 (x)=1 If we divide through the equation by cos 2 (x), we get: sin 2 (x)/cos 2 (x) + cos 2 (x)/cos 2 (x) = 1/cos 2 (x) If we look at the left hand side of the eq...

Find the equation of the tangent to the curve y = 2x^2 + x - 1 at the point where x = 1.

To get the required tangent equation we need its gradient and the coordinates of a point it passes through. We can then substitute it into the formula y - y 1 = m(x - x 1 ). 1. Finding the gradient: To find ...
