cos(2x) = 1

2x = 2n*pi

x = n*pi

note that n may be any integer.

How do you verify cos2 theta divided by csc2 theta plus cos4 theta equals cos2 theta?

Using x instead of theta, cos2x/cosec2x + cos4x = cos2x*sin2x + cos4x = cos2x*(sin2x + cos2x) = cos2x*1 = cos2x


How do you solve sin squared x divided by 1 - cos x?

Use this identity sin2x+cos2x=1 sin2x=1-cos2x so sin2x/(1-cosx) =(1-cos2x)/(1-cosx) =(1-cosx)(1+cosx)/(1-cosx) =1+cosx

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

(1 - tan2x)/(1 + tan2x) = (1 - sin2x/cos2x)/(1 + sin2x/cos2x) = (cos2x - sin2x)/(cos2x + sin2x) = (cos2x - sin2x)/1 = (cos2x - sin2x) = cos(2x)


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.

Integral of sin squared x?

First we look at the double-angle identity of cos2x. We know that: cos2x = cos^2x - sin^2x cos2x = [1-sin^2x] - sin^2x.............. (From sin^2x + cos^2x = 1, cos^2x = 1 - sin^2x) Therefore: cos2x = 1 - 2sin^2x 2sin^2x = 1 - cos2x sin^2x = 1/2(1-cos2x) sin^2x = 1/2 - cos2x/2 And intergrating, we get: x/2 - sin2x/4 + c...................(Integral of cos2x = 1/2sin2x; and c is a constant)
