Sin(2x) = -cos(x)

But sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x)

Substitute it:

2 sin(x) cos(x) = -cos(x)

Divide each side by cos(x):

2 sin(x) = -1

sin(x) = -1/2

x = 210°

x = 330°

How does 1 plus cot squared x equals csc squared x?

The proof of this trig identity relies on the pythagorean trig identity, the most famous trig identity of all time: sin2x + cos2x = 1, or 1 - cos2x = sin2x. 1 + cot2x = csc2x 1 = csc2x - cot2x 1 = 1/sin2x - cos2x/sin2x 1 = (1 - cos2x)/sin2x ...using the pythagorean trig identity... 1 = sin2x/sin2x 1 = 1 So this is less of a proof and more of a verification.

How do you find sin theta when tan theta equals one fourth?

I will note x instead of theta tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x) = 1/4 sin(x) = cos(x)/4 = ±sqrt(1-sin2x)/4 as cos2x + sin2 x = 1 4 sin(x) = ±sqrt(1-sin2x) 16 sin2x = 1-sin2x 17 sin2x = 1 sin2x = 1/17 sin(x) = ±1/sqrt(17)

How do you prove one - tan square x divided by one plus tan square xequal to cos two x?
