solve the equation 3x^2 +8x -13 = 0

Given the quadratic equation: 3x^2 + 8x -13 =
0


We need to find the roots of the equation
.


We will use the formula to find the
answer.


We know that a= 3   b= 8  and c=
-13


==> x= [ -b +-
sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a


==> x1= [ -8 + sqrt(64-4*3*-13) ]/
2*3


            = [ -8 + sqrt(220)]/
6


           = ( -8 +
2sqrt55]/6


              =
(-4+sqrt55)/3


==> x2= (
-4-sqrt55)/3


Then the roots for the quadratic equation
is:


x= { (-4+sqrt55)/3  . (-4-sqrt55)/3 
}

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
