Final answer:
The given algebraic expression, when substituted with x=2secθ-5a-2tanθ, can be written as a function of θ as 2secθ-5a-2tanθ+1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given algebraic expression is √((x+5)^2)-4. We are asked to substitute x=2secθ-5a-2tanθ into the expression.
- First, substitute x=2secθ-5a-2tanθ into the expression:
√(((2secθ-5a-2tanθ)+5)^2)-4 - Simplify the expression:
√((2secθ-5a-2tanθ+5)^2)-4 - Expand the square:
(2secθ-5a-2tanθ+5)-4 - Simplify:
2secθ-5a-2tanθ+1
Therefore, the given algebraic expression, when substituted with x=2secθ-5a-2tanθ, can be written as a function of θ as 2secθ-5a-2tanθ+1.
