sec^2 x+ 2tan x = 0
use the fact that sec^2 x= tan^2 x +1
tan^2 x + 2tan x + 1 =0
(tan x +1)^2 = 0 tan x = - 1
x=3π/4, x= 7π/4

A sequence is defined as a function with domain the set of the natural numbers, and codomain the set of the real numbers. A geometric sequence (a_n) is a sequence of the form: a_n = a_(n-1)*r, where r is ...

A local extreme point would mean that f'(1)=0. Since integration is the inverse application of derivation, to obtain f'(x) function we integrate the f''(x) function. Bearing in mind the integration rule o...

Proof by induction is a type of proof in which one tries to proof a statement is valid for any arbitrary number of n by first proving for k and then trying to further extrapolate this into a valid stateme...

A decreasing function means that its instantaneous slope (rate of change) is negative and the function tends to smaller values of y.There are two approaches to this. One is graphical, as sin(x) i...
