Prove the trigonometric identity:
\[(1-\sin^2x)\left( 1+{1 \over \tan^2x} \right)=1\]
sorry wrong one
typing it up again
( 1 + tan^2x) ??
\[(1-\cos^2x)\left( 1+ {1 \over \tan^2x} \right)=1\]
The above is the identity I am talking about
Show your steps please
1st brackets are sin^2 2nd brackets are cosec^2 or 1/sin^2 so its\[\sin^2 \times \frac{1}{\sin^2} = 1\]
Use the Pythagorean identities to help you simplify that:\[\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1\]\[1+\cot^2 x=\csc^2 x\]Start with this substitution: \(\dfrac{1}{\tan^2 x}=\cot^2 x\)
\[ 1 - cos^2x = \sin^2x\] and \[ 1 + \frac 1 {\tan ^2x} = \frac{\sin ^2x + \cos ^2x }{\sin^2 x} = \frac{1}{\sin^2 x} \]
How did you do that? Also, make sure you're looking at the new identity, the first one had sin2x instead of cos2x
Individual steps are appreciated
I don't get it? @experimentX
it all starts with \[\sin^2 + \cos^2 = 1\] subtract cos^2 from both sides \[\sin^1 = 1 - \cos^2\] start again with sin^2 + cos^2 = 1 divide through by sin^2 \[1 + \frac{\cos^2}{\sin^2} = \frac{1}{\sin^2}\] this the the 2nd brackets since \[\frac{1}{\tan^2} = \frac{\cos^2}{\sin^2}\] so you end up with \[\sin^2 \times \frac{1}{\sin^2} = 1\]
should be sin^2 = 1 - cos^2
