mathdude, please answer my question...​

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\bf\:5 \bigg( {x}^{2} - \dfrac{1}{ {x}^{2} } \bigg) = \dfrac{1}{5} \: } \\ [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

[tex]\sf\: 5x = sec \theta \\ [/tex]

[tex]\sf\: \dfrac{5}{x} = tan \theta \\ [/tex]

Now, We know

[tex]\sf\: {sec}^{2} \theta - {tan}^{2} \theta = 1 \\ [/tex]

On substituting the values from given, we get

[tex]\sf\: {(5x)}^{2} - {\bigg( \dfrac{5}{x} \bigg) }^{2} = 1 \\ [/tex]

[tex]\sf\: {25x}^{2} - \dfrac{25}{ {x}^{2} } = 1 \\ [/tex]

[tex]\sf\:25 \bigg( {x}^{2} - \dfrac{1}{ {x}^{2} } \bigg) = 1 \\ [/tex]

On dividing both sides by 5, we get

[tex]\implies\sf\:5 \bigg( {x}^{2} - \dfrac{1}{ {x}^{2} } \bigg) = \dfrac{1}{5} \\ [/tex]

Hence,

[tex]\implies\sf\:\boxed{\bf\:5 \bigg( {x}^{2} - \dfrac{1}{ {x}^{2} } \bigg) = \dfrac{1}{5} \: } \\ [/tex]

Short-cut Trick:

[tex]\boxed{\sf\:\bf\:If \: sec\theta = ax, \: tan\theta = \dfrac{a}{x}, \: then \: a \bigg( {x}^{2} - \dfrac{1}{ {x}^{2} } \bigg) = \dfrac{1}{a} \: } \\ [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps you!!
