how I solve this : (5x-4)(2x+3)>0 and x-3/3x+4

We'll solve the 1st
inequality:


(5x-4)(2x+3)>0


We'll
remove the brackets:


10x^2 + 15x - 8x - 12 >
0


10x^2 + 7x - 12 >
0


We'll determine the roots of the quadratic 10x^2 + 7x -
12 = 0.


x1 = [-7+sqrt(49 +
480)]/20


x1 = (-7+23)/20


x1 =
16/20 => x1 = 4/5


x2 = -30/20 => x2 =
-3/2


The expression is positive if x belongs to the reunion
of sets: (-infinite ; -3/2)U(4/5 ; +infinite).


We'll solve
the 2nd inequality:


(x-3)/(3x+4)<=2 (Please, pay
attention to the manner of writting a fraction)


We'll
subtract 2 both sides:


(x-3)/(3x+4) - 2 <=
0


(x - 3 - 6x - 8)/(3x + 4) <=
0


We'll combine like
terms:


(-5x - 11)/(3x + 4) <=
0


(5x + 11)/(3x + 4) >=
0


The fraction is positive if x belongs to the reunion of
intervals: (-infinite ; -11/5]U(-4/3 ;
+infinite)


Since the final solution has to
make both inequalities to hold, therefore x belongs to the reunion of intervals:
(-infinite ; -11/5]U(4/5 ; +infinite).

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 ...
