Is 2 cot x sin x cos x equals 2 - 2 sin 2 x an identity?
The easiest way to approach this problem is by rewriting the left hand side entirely in terms of sin and cos and then simplifying. To do so, use the fact that cot(x)=cos(x)/sin(x) to get that 2*cot(x)*sin(x)*cos(x)=2*cos(x)/sin(x)*sin(x)*cos(x)=2*cos(x)² Next, we will try to simplify the right hand side by factoring and utilizing the formula cos(x)²+sin(x)²=1 which implies that 1-sin(x)²=cos(x)² 2-2sin(x)²=2*(1-sin(x)²)=2*cos(x)² Since both sides can be simplified to equal the same thing, both sides must always be equal, and the equation 2*cot(x)*sin(x)*cos(x)=2-2sin(x)² must be an identity
Csc squared divided by cot equals csc x sec. can someone make them equal?
cot(x)=1/tan(x)=1/(sin(x)/cos(x))=cos(x)/sin(x) csc(x)=1/sin(x) sec(x)=1/cos(x) Therefore, (csc(x))2/cot(x)=(1/(sin(x))2)/cot(x)=(1/(sin(x))2)/(cos(x)/sin(x))=(1/(sin(x))2)(sin(x)/cos(x))=(1/sin(x))*(1/cos(x))=csc(x)*sec(x)
2 cot x plus 1 equals -1?
2 cot(x) + 1 = -1 2 cot(x) = -2 cot(x) = -1 cos(x)/sin(x) = -1 cos(x) = - sin(x) x = 135°, 315°, 495°, ... another one every 180 degrees
How do you find cot on your Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus calculator?
The TI-83 does not have the cot button, however, if you type 1/tan( then this will work the same as the cot since cot=1/tan. The other way to do this is to type (cos(x))/(sin(x)) where x is the angle you're looking for. This works because cot=cos/sin
How do you prove that (1 plus cotx)2-2cotx 1(1-cos)(1 plus cos)?
Manipulate normally, noting:cot x = cos x / sin xcos² x + sin² x = 1 → sin²x = 1 - cos² xa² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)1 = 1²ab = baa/(bc) = a/b/c(1 + cot x)² - 2 cot x = 1² + 2 cot x + cot² x - 2 cot x= 1 + cot² x= 1 + (cos x / sin x)²= 1 + cos² x / sin² x= 1 + cos² x / (1 - cos² x)= ((1 - cos² x) + cos² x)/(1 - cos² x)= 1/(1² - cos² x)= 1/((1 + cos x)(1 - cos x))= 1/(1 - cos x)/(1 + cos x)QED.
