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)

What does cos squared x - Sin squared x equal?

2 x cosine squared x -1 which also equals cos (2x)


How do you prove that the sin over one minus the cosine minus one plus the cosine over the sine equals zero?

Multiply both sides by sin(1-cos) and you lose the denominators and get (sin squared) minus 1+cos times 1-cos. Then multiply out (i.e. expand) 1+cos times 1-cos, which will of course give the difference of two squares: 1 - (cos squared). (because the cross terms cancel out.) (This is diff of 2 squares because 1 is the square of 1.) And so you get (sin squared) - (1 - (cos squared)) = (sin squared) + (cos squared) - 1. Then from basic trig we know that (sin squared) + (cos squared) = 1, so this is 0.


If Sin equals x and Cos equals y then x squared equals what function of y?

If x = sin θ and y = cos θ then: sin² θ + cos² θ = 1 → x² + y² = 1 → x² = 1 - y²


What is 1 minus cos squared?

sin squared


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,


What is sin squared equal to?

Sin squared is equal to 1 - cos squared.


Factor sin cubed plus cos cubed?

sin cubed + cos cubed (sin + cos)( sin squared - sin.cos + cos squared) (sin + cos)(1 + sin.cos)


What does Sin squared x Cos squared x equal?

sin2 x = (1/2)(1 - cos 2x) cos2 x = (1/2)(1 + cos 2x) Multiplying both you get (1/4) (1 - cos2 2x) Which is equal to (1/4) (1 - (1/2) (1 + cos 4x) = (1/8) (2 - 1 - cos 4x) = (1/8) (1 - cos 4x) Or If it is the trigonomic function, sin squared x and cosine squared x is equal to one


What is (1 plus cos x)(1- cos x)?

(1+cosx)(1-cosx)= 1 +cosx - cosx -cos^2x (where ^2 means squared) = 1-cos^2x = sin^2x (sin squared x)


What are the solutions of 2 cos squared x minus cos x equals 1?

2cos2x - cosx -1 = 0 Factor: (2cosx + 1)(cosx - 1) = 0 cosx = {-.5, 1} x = {...0, 120, 240, 360,...} degrees


What is Cos squared x equal to?

Cos^2 x = 1 - sin^2 x
