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)

How does sin2x divided by 1-cosx equal 1 plus cosx?
sin2x / (1-cos x) = (1-cos2x) / (1-cos x) = (1-cos x)(1+cos x) / (1-cos x) = (1+cos x) sin2x=1-cos2x as sin2x+cos2x=1 1-cos2x = (1-cos x)(1+cos x) as a2-b2=(a-b)(a+b)

Solution for tan x is equal to cos x?
if tan x = cos x then sin x / cos x = cos x => sin x = cos x cos x => sin x = cos2 x => sin x = 1 - sin2x => sin2x + sin x - 1 = 0 Using the quadratic formula => 1. sin x = 0.61803398874989484820458683436564 => x = sin-1 (0.61803398874989484820458683436564) or => 2. sin x = -1.6180339887498948482045868343656 => x = sin-1 (-1.6180339887498948482045868343656)

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.
How do you find sin theta when tan theta equals one fourth?
I will note x instead of theta tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x) = 1/4 sin(x) = cos(x)/4 = ±sqrt(1-sin2x)/4 as cos2x + sin2 x = 1 4 sin(x) = ±sqrt(1-sin2x) 16 sin2x = 1-sin2x 17 sin2x = 1 sin2x = 1/17 sin(x) = ±1/sqrt(17)

How do you simplify cosx plus sinx tanx?
to simplify Cosx=Sinx Tanx you should remember your fundamental and pythagorean identities.. Cosx + Sinx Tanx Cosx + Sinx (Sinx/Cosx) <---------- From Tanx= Sinx/Cosx Cosx + Sin2x/ Cos x <------------- do the LCD Cosx (Cosx/Cosx) + Sin2x/Cosx (Cos2x+Sin2x)/Cosx 1/Cosx <--------- From Sin2x + Cos2x =1 or Secx <-------- answer Comment if you have questions...:))
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 does sin2x divided by 1-cosx equal 1 plus cosx?
sin2x / (1-cos x) = (1-cos2x) / (1-cos x) = (1-cos x)(1+cos x) / (1-cos x) = (1+cos x) sin2x=1-cos2x as sin2x+cos2x=1 1-cos2x = (1-cos x)(1+cos x) as a2-b2=(a-b)(a+b)
