It's an equation that's sitting there begging us to find what values for Θ make it
a true statement.
For the first few moments, just to make it simpler to look at and to write, I'll
call cos(Θ) by the name 'C'.
You said that [ 2C2 - C = 1 ]
Subtract 1 from each side: [ 2C2 - C - 1 = 0 ]
This is a plain old quadratic equation.
When you factor it, it becomes . . . . . . (2C + 1) (C- 1) = 0
Setting each factor to zero in turn, you get the two roots:
C = 1
C = - 1/2
Now we can go back to the trig world:
cos(Θ) = C
cos(Θ) = 1 . . . . . Θ = any positive or negative multiple of 360° .
cos(Θ) = - 1/2 . . . Θ = (any positive or negative multiple of 360°) plus or minus 120° .
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.
Until an "equals" sign shows up somewhere in the expression, there's nothing to prove.
Zero. Anything minus itself is zero.

The question contains an expression but not an equation. An expression cannot be solved.
Sec^(2) = 1 / Cos^(2) Hence Sec^(2) X Cos^(2) = 1/Cos^(2) X Cos^(2) Cancel down by ' Cos^(2) '. 1/1 X 1 = 1 1 - Tan^(2) (The ANSWER) !!!!! Factor ( 1 - Tan)(1 + Tan)
Cos(Theta) X Cos(Theta) = Cos^(2)[Theta].

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

Zero. Anything minus itself is zero.
cos(t) - cos(t)*sin2(t) = cos(t)*[1 - sin2(t)] But [1 - sin2(t)] = cos2(t) So, the expression = cos(t)*cos2(t) = cos3(t)
cos2(theta) = 1 cos2(theta) + sin2(theta) = 1 so sin2(theta) = 0 cos(2*theta) = cos2(theta) - sin2(theta) = 1 - 0 = 1
To determine what negative sine squared plus cosine squared is equal to, start with the primary trigonometric identity, which is based on the pythagorean theorem...sin2(theta) + cos2(theta) = 1... and then solve for the question...cos2(theta) = 1 - sin2(theta)2 cos2(theta) = 1 - sin2(theta) + cos2(theta)2 cos2(theta) - 1 = - sin2(theta) + cos2(theta)
cosine (90- theta) = sine (theta)
