sin2θ / 1 + cos2θ = tanθ

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

prove this identity?

OpenStudy (4meisu):

yes

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

sin 2x 2sinxcosx --------- = --------- 1 + cos2x 1 + (2cos^2 x - 1) = 2sinxcosx sin x -------- = ----- 2cos^2x cos x

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

can you finish this?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

(i used x instead of theta)

OpenStudy (4meisu):

No I can't, I'm really confused when it comes to this :S

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

tan x = sin x / cos x

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

to do these you need a good knowledge of trigonometrical identities

OpenStudy (4meisu):

Thank you :)
