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 divided by cosine squared theta equals one?

The equation that satisfies the condition "what divided by cosine squared theta equals one" is simply the expression itself. If we let ( x ) be the quantity, then the equation can be expressed as ( \frac{x}{\cos^2 \theta} = 1 ). Solving for ( x ) gives ( x = \cos^2 \theta ). Thus, ( \cos^2 \theta ) divided by ( \cos^2 \theta ) equals one.

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

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 do you solve theta if cos squared theta equals 1 and 0 is less than or equal to theta which is less than 2pi?

cos2(theta) = 1 so cos(theta) = ±1 cos(theta) = -1 => theta = pi cos(theta) = 1 => theta = 0
