cos 2x = cos2 x - sin2 x

= 2 cos2 x - 1; whence,

cos 2x / cos x = 2 cos x - (1 / cos x)

= 2 cos x - sec 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)


Find the derivative of y x2 sin x 2xcos x - 2sin x?

y = (x^2)(sin x)(2x)(cos x) - 2sin xy' = [[(x^2)(sin x)][(2x)(cos x)]]' - (2sin x)'y' = [[(x^2)(sin x)]'[(2x)(cos x)] + [(2x)(cos x)]'[(x^2)(sin x)]]- (2sin x)'y' = [[(x^2)'(sin x) + (sin x)'(x^2)][(2x)(cos x)] + [(2x)'(cos x) + (cos x)'(2x)][(x^2)(sin x)] ] - 2(cos x)y' = [[(2x)(sin x )+ (cos x)(x^2)][(2x)(cos x)] + [2cos x - (sin x)(2x)][(x^2)(sin x)]] - 2(cos x)y' = (4x^2)(sin x cos x) + (2x^3)(cos x)^2 + (2x^2)(sin x cos x) - (2x^3)(sin x)^2 - 2cos xy' = (6x^2)(sin x cos x) + (2x^3)(cos x)^2 - (2x^3)(sin x)^2 - 2cos x (if you want, you can stop here, or you can continue)y' = (3x^2)(2sin x cos x) + (2x^3)[(cos x)^2 - (sin x)^2] - 2cos xy' = (3x^2)(sin 2x) + (2x^3)(cos 2x) - 2 cos xy' = (2x^3)(cos 2x) + (3x^2)(sin 2x) - 2 cos x


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)


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.
