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)

How do you solve double angle equations for trigonometry?
There are two ways to solve for the double angle formulas in trigonometry. The first is to use the angle addition formulas for sine and cosine. * sin(a + b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b) * cos(a + b) = cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b) if a = b, then * sin(2a) = sin(a)cos(a) + cos(a)sin(a) = 2sin(a)cos(a) * cos(2a) = cos2(a) - sin2(b) The cooler way to solve for the double angle formulas is to use Euler's identity. eix = cos(x) + i*sin(x). Yes, that is "i" as in imaginary number. we we put 2x in for x, we get * e2ix = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) This is the same as * (eix)2 = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) We can substitute our original equation back in for eix. * (cos(x) + i*sin(x))2 = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) We can distribute the squared term. * cos2(x) + i*sin(x)cos(x) + i*sin(x)cos(x) + (i*sin(x))2 = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) And simplify. Because i is SQRT(-1), the i squared term becomes negative. * cos2(x) + 2i*sin(x)cos(x) - sin2(x) = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) * cos2(x) - sin2(x) + 2i*sin(x)cos(x) = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) Now you can plainly see both formulas in the equation arranged quite nicely. I don't yet know how to get rid of the i, but I'm working on it.
How do you derive sin2x?
If you are refering to the double-angle formula for sin(x), the best way is to use what is known as Euler's identity. Euler's identity is eix = cos(x) + i*sin(x) where x is any real angle in radians, e is Euler's constant 2.71828182845... and i is the imaginary number: SQRT(-1). Assuming that is true, then ei(2x) = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) and that is the same as saying (eix)2= cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) and substituting from the original equation: (cos(x) + i*sin(x))2 = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x). By distribution, remembering that i2 = -1, we get cos2(x) + i*2*sin(x)*cos(x) - sin2(x) = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x). Now we can separate the equation into its real and imaginary parts. cos2(x) - sin2(x) = cos(2x) and i*2*sin(x)*cos(x) = i*sin(2x), and after i cancels, there's our good old double angle formula. If derive refers to derivative, then use the chain rule. d(sin(2x))/dx=2cos(2x)
Is sin 2x equals 2 sin x cos x an identity?
YES!!!! Sin(2x) = Sin(x+x') Sin(x+x') = SinxCosx' + CosxSinx' I have put a 'dash' on an 'x' only to show its position in the identity. Both x & x' carry the same value. Hence SinxCosx' + CosxSinx' = Sinx Cos x + Sinx'Cosx => 2SinxCosx
How do you prove that 2 sin 3x divided by sin x plus 2 cos 3x divided by cos x equals 8 cos 2x?
You need to know the trigonometric formulae for sin and cos of compound angles. sin(x+y) = sin(x)*cos(y)+cos(x)*sin(y) and cos(x+y) = cos(x)*cos(y) - sin(x)*sin(y) Using these, y = x implies that sin(2x) = sin(x+x) = 2*sin(x)cos(x) and cos(2x) = cos(x+x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) Next, the triple angle formulae are: sin(3x) = sin(2x + x) = 3*sin(x) - 4*sin^3(x) and cos(3x) = 4*cos^3(x) - 3*cos(x) Then the left hand side = 2*[3*sin(x) - 4*sin^3(x)]/sin(x) + 2*[4*cos^3(x) - 3*cos(x)]/cos(x) = 6 - 8*sin^2(x) + 8cos^2(x) - 6 = 8*[cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)] = 8*cos(2x) = right hand side.

Find the derivative of y x2 sin x 2xcos x - 2sin x?
y = (x^2)(sin x)(2x)(cos x) - 2sin xy' = [[(x^2)(sin x)][(2x)(cos x)]]' - (2sin x)'y' = [[(x^2)(sin x)]'[(2x)(cos x)] + [(2x)(cos x)]'[(x^2)(sin x)]]- (2sin x)'y' = [[(x^2)'(sin x) + (sin x)'(x^2)][(2x)(cos x)] + [(2x)'(cos x) + (cos x)'(2x)][(x^2)(sin x)] ] - 2(cos x)y' = [[(2x)(sin x )+ (cos x)(x^2)][(2x)(cos x)] + [2cos x - (sin x)(2x)][(x^2)(sin x)]] - 2(cos x)y' = (4x^2)(sin x cos x) + (2x^3)(cos x)^2 + (2x^2)(sin x cos x) - (2x^3)(sin x)^2 - 2cos xy' = (6x^2)(sin x cos x) + (2x^3)(cos x)^2 - (2x^3)(sin x)^2 - 2cos x (if you want, you can stop here, or you can continue)y' = (3x^2)(2sin x cos x) + (2x^3)[(cos x)^2 - (sin x)^2] - 2cos xy' = (3x^2)(sin 2x) + (2x^3)(cos 2x) - 2 cos xy' = (2x^3)(cos 2x) + (3x^2)(sin 2x) - 2 cos x
How you can defferentiate an integral?
If the upper limit is a function of x and the lower limit is a constant, you can differentiate an integral using the Fudamental Theorem of Calculus. For example you can integrate Integral of [1,x^2] sin(t) dt as: sin(x^2) d/dx (x^2) = sin(x^2) (2x) = 2x sin(x^2) The lower limit of integration is 1 ( a constant). The upper limit of integration is a function of x, here x^2. The function being integrated is sin(t)

How do you prove tan x plus tan x sec 2x equals tan 2x?
tan x + (tan x)(sec 2x) = tan 2x work dependently on the left sidetan x + (tan x)(sec 2x); factor out tan x= tan x(1 + sec 2x); sec 2x = 1/cos 2x= tan x(1 + 1/cos 2x); LCD = cos 2x= tan x[cos 2x + 1)/cos 2x]; tan x = sin x/cos x and cos 2x = 1 - 2 sin2 x= (sin x/cos x)[(1 - 2sin2 x + 1)/cos 2x]= (sin x/cos x)[2(1 - sin2 x)/cos 2x]; 1 - sin2 x = cos2 x= (sin x/cos x)[2cos2 x)/cos 2x]; simplify cos x= (2sin x cos x)/cos 2x; 2 sinx cos x = sin 2x= sin 2x/cos 2x= tan 2x

It seems you can't express it in terms of the standard functions used in basic calculus; the site Wolfram Alpha (input: integral sin x^2) lists the integral in terms of a so-called Fresnel function. It also lists the first terms of the infinite series.
