It helps to convert everything to cosines, using the Pythagorean formula, i.e., sin2x + cos2x = 1.
sin2x + cos x = 0
(1 - cos2x) + cos x = 0
-cos2x + cos x + 1 = 0
cos2x - cos x - 1 = 0
Now you can apply the quadratic formula, solving for cos x, and using a = 1, b = -1, c = -1.

sin2x + cos x = 0
(1 - cos2x) + cos x = 0
-cos2x + cos x + 1 = 0
cos2x - cos x - 1 = 0

How do you prove the following identity sec x - cos x equals sin x tan x?
you need this identities to solve the problem..that is something you have to memorized sec x= 1/cosx 1-cos2x= sin2x tanx= sin x/cosx also, sin 2x= (sinx)(sinx) sec x - cosx= sin x tanx (1/cosx)-cosx= sin x tanx .. 1-cos2x / cosx=sin x tanx sin2x/ cosx= sin x tanx (sin x/cox)( sin x)= sin x tanx tanx sinx= sin x tanx
How do you differentiate cosine squared of x?
cosx^2 differentiates too 2(cosx)^1 x the differential of cos which is -sin so u get -2sinxcosx use the chain rule!
What is the derivative of sin x minus cos x?
d/dx(sinx-cosx)=cosx--sinx=cosx+sinx
Cos x tan x to sin x Transform the expression on the left to the one on the right?
cosx * tanx = sinx cos x . sin x/ cosx = sinx cos x . sin x/cosx = sinx (cos x is taken out of the equation, leaving sin x = sin x).
What is Sin squared x - Cos squared x divided by 1 - Tan squared x equals cos squared x?
