Use properties of the trigonometric functionS
\n" ); document.write( "to find the exact value of sec^2 18 -tan^2 18
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "Pythagorean Identity:
\n" ); document.write( "tan^2x+1=sec^2x
\n" ); document.write( "sec^2x-tan^2x=1
\n" ); document.write( "so,
\n" ); document.write( "sec^2 18 -tan^2 18=1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
