Why does cos negative theta equals positive theta?

You must think of the unit circle. negative theta is in either radians or degrees and represents a specific area on the unit circle. Remember the unit circle is also like a coordinate plane and cos is the x while sin is the y coordinate. Here is an example: cos(-45): The cos of negative 45 degrees is pi/4 and cos(45) is also pi/4


What is the derivative of sin pi x?

If you mean y = Sin(pi(x)) Then Use the chain rule dy/dx = dy/du X du/dx Let pi(x) = u y = Sin (u) dy/du = Cos(u) u = pi(x) du/dx = pi Combining dy/dx = pi Cos(u) = piCos (pi(x)). The answer!!!!!


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.


If tan y equals to x where y is acute find 3 cos y in terms of x?

3cos(y) = 3/(sqrt(1+x^2)


Is the cosine function an odd function?

No. Cosine, along with sec, is an even function. The odd functions are sin, tan, csc, and cot. The reason for this is because is you take the opposite of the y-value for the cosine function, the overall value of the function is not affected.Take, for example, cos(60 degrees), which equals POSITIVE 1/2.If you flip it over the x-axis, making the y's negative, it becomes cos(-60 degrees), or cos(300 degrees). This equals POSITIVE 1/2.Now let's look at an odd function. For example, sin(30 degrees) equals POSITIVE 1/2. Now take the opposite of this.sin(-30 degrees), or sin(330 degrees), equals NEGATIVE 1/2. This is because it is found in the fourth quadrant, where the y's are negative. Sine of theta, by definition, is y divided by r. If y is negative, sine is negative.

If Sin equals x and Cos equals y then x squared equals what function of y?

If x = sin θ and y = cos θ then: sin² θ + cos² θ = 1 → x² + y² = 1 → x² = 1 - y²


How do you solve cos squared x - cosx equals 2 for 0x2pi?

cos2(x) - cos(x) = 2 Let y = cos(x) then y2 - y = 2 or y2 - y - 2 = 0 factorising, (y - 2)(y + 1) = 0 that is y = 2 or y = -1 Substitutng back, this would require cos(x) = 2 or cos(x) = -1 But cos(x) cannot be 2 so cos(x) = -1 Then x = cos-1(-1) => x = pi radians.


What is sin23A minus sin7A upon sin2A plus sin14A if A equals pi upon 21?

Using the identity, sin(X)+sin(Y) = 2*sin[(x+y)/2]*cos[(x-y)/2] the expression becomes {2*sin[(23A-7A)/2]*cos[(23A+7A)/2]}/{2*sin[(2A+14A)/2]*cos[(2A-14A)/2]} = {2*sin(8A)*cos(15A)}/{2*sin(8A)*cos(-6A)} = cos(15A)/cos(-6A)} = cos(15A)/cos(6A)} since cos(-x) = cos(x) When A = pi/21, 15A = 15*pi/21 and 6A = 6*pi/21 = pi - 15pi/21 Therefore, cos(6A) = - cos(15A) and hence the expression = -1.
