Cos(x) = Sin(2x)

Using angle-addition, we have Sin(a+b) = Sin(a)Cos(b) + Sin(b)Cos(a). From that, we see Sin(2x) = Sin(x)Cos(x)+Sin(x)Cos(x) = 2Sin(x)Cos(x)

Cos(x) = 2Sin(x)Cos(x)

If Cos(x) = 0, then the two sides are equal. This occurs at x= Pi/2 + nPi, where n is an integer and Pi is approximately 3.14.

If Cos(x) doesn't equal 0, then we can divide it out. Then,

1 = 2 Sin(x) , or

1/2 = Sin(x)

This occurs when x = Pi/6 or 5Pi/6, plus or minus any multiples of 2 Pi.

How do you simplify cosx plus sinx tanx?

to simplify Cosx=Sinx Tanx you should remember your fundamental and pythagorean identities.. Cosx + Sinx Tanx Cosx + Sinx (Sinx/Cosx) <---------- From Tanx= Sinx/Cosx Cosx + Sin2x/ Cos x <------------- do the LCD Cosx (Cosx/Cosx) + Sin2x/Cosx (Cos2x+Sin2x)/Cosx 1/Cosx <--------- From Sin2x + Cos2x =1 or Secx <-------- answer Comment if you have questions...:))


Can you Show 1 over sinx cosx - cosx over sinx equals tanx?

From the Pythagorean identity, sin2x = 1-cos2x. LHS = 1/(sinx cosx) - cosx/sinx LHS = 1/(sinx cosx) - (cosx/sinx)(cosx/cosx) LHS = 1/(sinx cosx) - cos2x/(sinx cosx) LHS = (1- cos2x)/(sinx cosx) LHS = sin2x /(sinx cosx) [from Pythagorean identity] LHS = sin2x /(sinx cosx) LHS = sinx/cosx LHS = tanx [by definition] RHS = tanx LHS = RHS and so the identity is proven. Q.E.D.


How do you solve sin squared x divided by 1 - cos x?

Use this identity sin2x+cos2x=1 sin2x=1-cos2x so sin2x/(1-cosx) =(1-cos2x)/(1-cosx) =(1-cosx)(1+cosx)/(1-cosx) =1+cosx

What is the exact solution to cosx equals x?

There is no "exact" solution. This type of equation falls into the category of transcendental equations, which generally don't have exact solution except in special cases. The approximate solution, however, is roughly 0.739085
