Sec²x - tan²x equals?
sec2(x) - tan2(x)= 1/cos2(x) - sin2(x)/cos2(x)= (1 - sin2(x)) / cos2(x)= cos2(x) / cos2(x)= 1
How does sec-squared x equals 1 plus tan-squared x?
Let s = sin x; c = cos x. By definition, sec x = 1/cos x = 1/c; and tan x = (sin x) / (cos x) = s/c. We know, also, that s2 + c2 = 1. Then, dividing through by c2, we have, (s2/c2) + 1 = (1/c2), or (s/c)2 + 1 = (1/c)2; in other words, we have, tan2 x + 1 = sec2 x.
How do you simplify tan2 x-1 over 1-sec2 x?
tan2 x + 1 = sec2 x ⇒ 1 - sec2 x = -tan2 x ⇒ (tan2 x - 1) / (1 - sec2 x) = (tan2 x - 1) / -tan2 x = (tan2 x) / (-tan2 x) - 1 / (-tan2 x) = -1 + cot2 x = cot2 x - 1 If you cannot remember tan2 x + 1 = sec2 x, remember and start from: sin2 x + cos2 x = 1 (which is used often) and divide each side by cos2 x: (sin2 x + cos2 x) / cos2 x = 1 / cos2 x ⇒ sin2 x / cos2 x + cos2 x / cos2 x = 1 / cos2 x But sin x / cos x = tan x; and 1/cos x = sec x ⇒ tan2 x + 1 = sec2 x Also, cot x = 1/tan x
How can you write an expression for cos x in term of sin x using pythagorean theorem?
cos2 x + sin2 x = 1 cos2 x = 1 - sin2 x
Sec - cos equals tansin?
Prove that tan(x)sin(x) = sec(x)-cos(x) tan(x)sin(x) = [sin(x) / cos (x)] sin(x) = sin2(x) / cos(x) = [1-cos2(x)] / cos(x) = 1/cos(x) - cos2(x)/ cos(x) = sec(x)-cos(x) Q.E.D
Sec²x - tan²x equals?
sec2(x) - tan2(x)= 1/cos2(x) - sin2(x)/cos2(x)= (1 - sin2(x)) / cos2(x)= cos2(x) / cos2(x)= 1
How does 1-sin squared x times 1 plus tan suared x equals 1?
Use these identities: sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1, and tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) For clarity, the functions are written here without their arguments (the "of x" part). (1 - sin2) = cos2 (1 + tan2) = (1 + sin2/cos2) = (cos2+sin2) / cos2 = 1/cos2 Multiply them: (cos2) times (1/cos2) = 1'QED'
What is sin squared minus 1?
-cos2(x)1 = sin2(x) +cos2(x)1 - cos2(x) = sin2(x)-cos2(x) = sin2(x) - 1
1-2sin squared x equals?

How do you solve sin squared of x divided by cos squared of x?
Sin2(x)/Cos2(x) is an expression, not an equation. Because it is an expression, it cannot be solved. It can be transformed to other, equivalent expressions, but that is as far as you can go. So, Sin2(x)/Cos2(x) = [Sin(x)/Cos(x)]2 = Tan2x or [1/Cos2(x) - 1] or [Sec2(x) - 1]
How does sec-squared x equals 1 plus tan-squared x?
Let s = sin x; c = cos x. By definition, sec x = 1/cos x = 1/c; and tan x = (sin x) / (cos x) = s/c. We know, also, that s2 + c2 = 1. Then, dividing through by c2, we have, (s2/c2) + 1 = (1/c2), or (s/c)2 + 1 = (1/c)2; in other words, we have, tan2 x + 1 = sec2 x.

How can you write an expression for cos x in term of sin x using pythagorean theorem?
cos2 x + sin2 x = 1 cos2 x = 1 - sin2 x
How do you solve x cubed equals x?
x=1
What is sin squared x equal to?
sin x times sin x. or 1/cosec2(x) or 1 - cos2(x) or tan2(x)*cos2(x) etc, etc.
Sec - cos equals tansin?
Prove that tan(x)sin(x) = sec(x)-cos(x) tan(x)sin(x) = [sin(x) / cos (x)] sin(x) = sin2(x) / cos(x) = [1-cos2(x)] / cos(x) = 1/cos(x) - cos2(x)/ cos(x) = sec(x)-cos(x) Q.E.D
Cos square 90-x equals?
Cos(90 - x) = sin(x) so cos2(90 - x) = sin2(x)
