Use these identities: sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1, and tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) For clarity, the functions are written here without their arguments (the "of x" part). (1 - sin2) = cos2 (1 + tan2) = (1 + sin2/cos2) = (cos2+sin2) / cos2 = 1/cos2 Multiply them: (cos2) times (1/cos2) = 1'QED'
If, by trigonometry theorem you mean the "fundamental theorem of trigonometry," sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1, it is actually the Pythagorean Theorem. if you have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of one, sin(x) is one leg, and cos(x) is the other. The Pythagorean Theorem states that a2 + b2 = c2 and therefore sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1.
The double angle formula states that sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x), and because sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1, sin(2x) = 2sin(x)*SQRT(1-sin2(x)). However, that will only give you the correct result when cos(x) is positive. (because SQRT only returns the positive square root)
I shall use x instead of theta since I cannot be bothered to paste it at each step.sin(x) + 2*cos2(x) = sin(x) + 2*[1 - sin2(x)] = sin(x) + 2 - 2sin2(x) which cannot be simplified further.I shall use x instead of theta since I cannot be bothered to paste it at each step.sin(x) + 2*cos2(x) = sin(x) + 2*[1 - sin2(x)] = sin(x) + 2 - 2sin2(x) which cannot be simplified further.I shall use x instead of theta since I cannot be bothered to paste it at each step.sin(x) + 2*cos2(x) = sin(x) + 2*[1 - sin2(x)] = sin(x) + 2 - 2sin2(x) which cannot be simplified further.I shall use x instead of theta since I cannot be bothered to paste it at each step.sin(x) + 2*cos2(x) = sin(x) + 2*[1 - sin2(x)] = sin(x) + 2 - 2sin2(x) which cannot be simplified further.
