How do you solve secant squared divided by tangent?

In trig, the secant squared divided by the tangent equals the hypotenuse squared divided by the product of the opposite and adjacent sides of the triangle.Details: secant = hypotenuse/adjacent (H/A) and tangent = opposite/adjacent (A/O);Then secant2/tangent = (H2/A2)/(O/A) = H2/A2 x A/O = H2/AO.

Why does taking the derivative of a function give you the slope of the tangent?

Why: Because that's what the derivative means, the way it is defined - the slope of the curve at any point of the line.


What is the derivative of tan x0 its x to the power 0?

Regardless of what 'x' is, (x)0 = 1 . tan(1 radian) = 1.55741 (rounded) tan(1 degree) = 0.01745 (rounded) We can't remember the derivative of the tangent right now, but it doesn't matter. This particular tangent is a constant, so its derivative is zero.
