How do you prove this trigonometric relationship sin3A equals 3sinA cos 2 A - sin 3 A?
sin(3A) = sin(2A + A) = sin(2A)*cos(A) + cos(2A)*sin(A)= sin(A+A)*cos(A) + cos(A+A)*sin(A) = 2*sin(A)*cos(A)*cos(A) + {cos^2(A) - sin^2(A)}*sin(A) = 2*sin(A)*cos^2(A) + sin(a)*cos^2(A) - sin^3(A) = 3*sin(A)*cos^2(A) - sin^3(A)

'csc' = 1/sin'tan' = sin/cosSo it must follow that(cos) (csc) / (tan) = (cos) (1/sin)/(sin/cos) = (cos) (1/sin) (cos/sin) = (cos/sin)2
Verify that sin minus cos plus 1 divided by sin plus cos subtract 1 equals sin plus 1 divided by cos?
[sin - cos + 1]/[sin + cos - 1] = [sin + 1]/cosiff [sin - cos + 1]*cos = [sin + 1]*[sin + cos - 1]iff sin*cos - cos^2 + cos = sin^2 + sin*cos - sin + sin + cos - 1iff -cos^2 = sin^2 - 11 = sin^2 + cos^2, which is true,

How would you prove left cosA plus sinA right times left cos2A plus sin2A right equals cosA plus sin3A?
You need to make use of the formulae for sin(A+B) and cos(A+B), and that cos is an even function: sin(A+B) = cos A sin B + sin A cos B cos(A+B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B cos even fn → cos(-x) = cos(x) To prove: (cos A + sin A)(cos 2A + sin 2A) = cos A + sin 3A The steps are to work with the left hand side, expand the brackets, collect [useful] terms together, apply A+B formula above (backwards) and apply even nature of cos function: (cos A + sin A)(cos 2A + sin 2A) = cos A cos 2A + cos A sin 2A + sin A cos 2A + sin A sin 2A = (cos A cos 2A + sin A sin 2A) + (cos A sin 2A + sin A cos 2A) = cos(A - 2A) + sin(A + 2A) = cos(-A) + sin 3A = cos A + sin 3A which is the right hand side as required.

How tan9-tan27-tan63 tan81 equals 4?
tan(9) + tan(81) = sin(9)/cos(9) + sin(81)/cos(81)= {sin(9)*cos(81) + sin(81)*cos(9)} / {cos(9)*cos(81)} = 1/2*{sin(-72) + sin(90)} + 1/2*{sin(72) + sin(90)} / 1/2*{cos(-72) + cos(90)} = 1/2*{sin(-72) + 1 + sin(72) + 1} / 1/2*{cos(-72) + 0} = 2/cos(72) since sin(-72) = -sin(72), and cos(-72) = cos(72) . . . . . (A) Also tan(27) + tan(63) = sin(27)/cos(27) + sin(63)/cos(63) = {sin(27)*cos(63) + sin(63)*cos(27)} / {cos(27)*cos(63)} = 1/2*{sin(-36) + sin(90)} + 1/2*{sin(72) + sin(36)} / 1/2*{cos(-36) + cos(90)} = 1/2*{sin(-36) + 1 + sin(36) + 1} / 1/2*{cos(-36) + 0} = 2/cos(36) since sin(-36) = -sin(36), and cos(-36) = cos(36) . . . . . (B) Therefore, by (A) and (B), tan(9) - tan(27) - tan(63) + tan(81) = tan(9) + tan(81) - tan(27) - tan(63) = 2/cos(72) – 2/cos(36) = 2*{cos(36) – cos(72)} / {cos(72)*cos(36)} = 2*2*sin(54)*sin(18)/{cos(72)*cos(36)} . . . . . . . (C) But cos(72) = sin(90-72) = sin(18) so that sin(18)/cos(72) = 1 and cos(36) = sin(90-36) = sin(54) so that sin(54)/cos(36) = 1 and therefore from C, tan(9) – tan(27) – tan(63) + tan(81) = 2*2*1*1 = 4
