Cos X +1 / cos X=40, find the value of cos square X +1/ cos square X

This is pseudo-trig.  It has a trig function but it's irrelevant.

Let y = cos X

y + 1/y = 40

Squaring,

y² + 2(y)(1/y) + 1/y² = 1600

y² + 2 + 1/y² = 1600

y² + 1/y² = 1598

cos² X + 1/cos²X = 1598

1598

(2x + 16) + (x) = 180

step-by-step explanation:

given,

abcd is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

angle a is labeled x plus 16, (x + 16)

angle b is labeled x degrees, (x)

angle c is labeled 6x minus 4, (6x – 4)

angle d is labeled 2x plus 16, (2x + 16)

what equation can be used to solve for angle b?

we know that the sum of the opposite angles of a simple quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180 degrees.

angle b is opposite angle d

therefore, angle b + angle d = 180

(x) + (2x + 16) = 180 

same as (2x + 16) + (x) = 180
