Can you check my answer to this trig id question? Question: Prove the identity of: tan²(x)

OpenStudy (experimentx):

Aaw man ,,, why do you make geometry complicated with grammar and composition

OpenStudy (experimentx):

it's a three step proof from left.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahaha. Sorry:), I need to explain every single step of the way. Otherwise, I lose marks. My teacher loves to know that we understand wahts going on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My teacher likes that we use mathematical terms and all of that. Thats why a simple answer becomes so... IDK... Fancy? LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But is that ok?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

(1-(cos²(x)+sin²(x)))/(1+(cos²(x)-sin²(x))) ^ - here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is something wrong in that line?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

yes ... you wrote + in place of -

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh. I thought that if its 1+ at first, you need to make it - later. So is it like this? (1-(cos²(x)-sin²(x)))/(1+(cos²(x)-sin²(x)))

OpenStudy (experimentx):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you for that:) I could have lost marks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are there any other issues in my answer?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

rest is all right ... just keep practicing .., until you get better.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you experimentx, Maybe when Im 80 years old, I will be half as smart as you are now:) I have no idea how you know so much.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are like a math genius:)

OpenStudy (experimentx):

haha ... genius is not a word for me. you are smart too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You kidding? Genius is the perfect word for you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyways, Thanks again experimentx:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan^2x = ??? it's not showing up... btw, he is a genius...

OpenStudy (experimentx):

you are being too generous ... literally.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

l8ers guys.... gtg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dpainc, I explained at the beginning that tan² x became sin²(x) / cos²(x). because of the quotent identity

OpenStudy (experimentx):

see ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Bye:)
