How do you prove sin x tan x equals cos x?
You can't. tan x = sin x/cos x So sin x tan x = sin x (sin x/cos x) = sin^2 x/cos x.
Sec x times sin x divided by tan x?
1 (sec x)(sin x /tan x = (1/cos x)(sin x)/tan x = (sin x/cos x)/tan x) = tan x/tan x = 1
How do you solve the following identity sec x - cos x equals sin x tan x?
sec x - cos x = (sin x)(tan x) 1/cos x - cos x = Cofunction Identity, sec x = 1/cos x. (1-cos^2 x)/cos x = Subtract the fractions. (sin^2 x)/cos x = Pythagorean Identity, 1-cos^2 x = sin^2 x. sin x (sin x)/(cos x) = Factor out sin x. (sin x)(tan x) = (sin x)(tan x) Cofunction Identity, (sin x)/(cos x) = tan x.
What equals 1 - cos squared x divided by cos squared x?
tan^2(x) Proof: cos^2(x)+sin^2(x)=1 (Modified Pythagorean theorem) sin^2(x)=1-cos^2(x) (Property of subtraction) cos^2(x)-1/cos^2(x)=? sin^2(x)/cos^2(x)=? (Property of substitution) sin(x)/cos(x) * sin(x)/cos(x) = tan(x) * tan(x) (Definition of tanget) = tan^2(x)
How do you prove tan x plus tan x sec 2x equals tan 2x?
tan x + (tan x)(sec 2x) = tan 2x work dependently on the left sidetan x + (tan x)(sec 2x); factor out tan x= tan x(1 + sec 2x); sec 2x = 1/cos 2x= tan x(1 + 1/cos 2x); LCD = cos 2x= tan x[cos 2x + 1)/cos 2x]; tan x = sin x/cos x and cos 2x = 1 - 2 sin2 x= (sin x/cos x)[(1 - 2sin2 x + 1)/cos 2x]= (sin x/cos x)[2(1 - sin2 x)/cos 2x]; 1 - sin2 x = cos2 x= (sin x/cos x)[2cos2 x)/cos 2x]; simplify cos x= (2sin x cos x)/cos 2x; 2 sinx cos x = sin 2x= sin 2x/cos 2x= tan 2x
