They are asking you to leave the left hand side alone; and manipulate the right-hand side until it is exactly like the left.
How would you do that since there is tan on the other side?
There is what they call trig identities; you substitute.
those?
Those are the only ones we use and I don't understand how to use them to do these.
That's a start, eg, from the chart there is a 1 + (tan^2) x = (sec^2) x. You can start my manipulating part of it into 1 + (tan^2)
One minute. I'm trying possibilities.
It is real hairy. Re-read make sure you didn't make a mistake in writing down the problem.
I just looked at it, it's correct.
The left-hand side is multiplied, not added?
I think it is all one thing on the left. I don't think the x means multiply. That's how it's written.
ok I got this but I don't know what to do after \[cotx(1+2\tan^2x)^2=cotx+2\tan^3x\]
It should be \[1+ \tan ^{2}x\]
Is the squared on the outside still right?
yes
Is it finished after that? I don't see anything else to do for it.
Each side should be identical. I was working at it but I'm stumped.
Are any of the other ones easier?
These are torturous, what level, what course?
Pre-calc honors. Online..
Sorry, you'll find nothing this difficult in calculus.
