Prove that tan(x)sin(x) = sec(x)-cos(x) tan(x)sin(x) = [sin(x) / cos (x)] sin(x) = sin2(x) / cos(x) = [1-cos2(x)] / cos(x) = 1/cos(x) - cos2(x)/ cos(x) = sec(x)-cos(x) Q.E.D
cos2 x + sin2 x = 1 cos2 x = 1 - sin2 x
cos(x)-cos(x)sin2(x)=[cos(x)][1-sin2(x)]cos(x)-cos(x)sin2(x)=[cos(x)][cos2(x)]cos(x)-cos(x)sin2(x)=cos3(x)
If you mean: sin2(x) cos2(x) then it can be simplified by noting that the square of the sine of x is equal to (1 - cos(2x)) ÷ 2 and the square of the cosine of x is equal to (1 + cos(2x)) ÷ 2. We can then simplify further: sin(x)2cos(x)2 = [(1 - cos(2x)) / 2][(1 + cos(2x)) / 2] = (1 - cos(2x))(1 + cos(2x)) / 2 = (1 - cos2(2x)) / 2 Also note that 1 - cos2(x) = sin2(x), so we can then say: = sin2(2x) / 2
The deriviative of sin2 x + cos2 x is 2 cos x - 2 sin x
