∙ 12y ago- cos theta
You can use the Pythagorean identity to solve this:(sin theta) squared + (cos theta) squared = 1.
There is a hint to how to solve this in what is required to be shown: a and b are both squared.Ifa cos θ + b sin θ = 8a sin θ - b cos θ = 5then square both sides of each to get:a² cos² θ + 2ab cos θ sin θ + b² sin² θ = 64a² sin² θ - 2ab sin θ cos θ + b² cos² θ = 25Now add the two together:a² cos² θ + a² sin² θ + b² sin² θ + b² cos² θ = 89→ a²(cos² θ + sin² θ) + b² (sin² θ + cos² θ) = 89using cos² θ + sin² θ = 1→ a² + b² = 89
sin/cos
(/) = theta sin 2(/) = 2sin(/)cos(/)
Cos theta squared
cos(t) - cos(t)*sin2(t) = cos(t)*[1 - sin2(t)] But [1 - sin2(t)] = cos2(t) So, the expression = cos(t)*cos2(t) = cos3(t)
- cos theta
Zero. Anything minus itself is zero.
You can use the Pythagorean identity to solve this:(sin theta) squared + (cos theta) squared = 1.
cosine (90- theta) = sine (theta)
1
cos2(theta) = 1 so cos(theta) = ±1 cos(theta) = -1 => theta = pi cos(theta) = 1 => theta = 0
The question contains an expression but not an equation. An expression cannot be solved.
Until an "equals" sign shows up somewhere in the expression, there's nothing to prove.
COS squared Theta + SIN squared Theta = 1; where Theta is the angles measurement in degrees.
Multiply both sides by sin(1-cos) and you lose the denominators and get (sin squared) minus 1+cos times 1-cos. Then multiply out (i.e. expand) 1+cos times 1-cos, which will of course give the difference of two squares: 1 - (cos squared). (because the cross terms cancel out.) (This is diff of 2 squares because 1 is the square of 1.) And so you get (sin squared) - (1 - (cos squared)) = (sin squared) + (cos squared) - 1. Then from basic trig we know that (sin squared) + (cos squared) = 1, so this is 0.
