Solve the equation 3x^2 -4x = x^2 +2

Given the equation :


3x^2 -
4x = x^2 + 2


We need to find x value that satisfies the
equation.


First we will move all terms to the left side so
the right side is 0.


==> 3x^2 -4x -x^2 - 2 =
0


==> 2x^2 -4x -2 =
0


Now we will divide by
2.


==> x^2 - 2x -1 =
0


Now we will use the formula to find the
roots.


==> x1= ( 2 + sqrt(4+4) / 2 = (2+ sqrt8)/2 =
(2+2sqrt2)/2 = 1+sqrt2


==> x2=
(1-sqrt2)


Then the values of x that satisfies the equation
are :


x= { (1+sqrt2) , (1-sqrt2)
}

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 ...
