They are asking you to leave the left hand side alone; and manipulate the right-hand side until it is exactly like the left.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How would you do that since there is tan on the other side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is what they call trig identities; you substitute.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Those are the only ones we use and I don't understand how to use them to do these.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One minute. I'm trying possibilities.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is real hairy. Re-read make sure you didn't make a mistake in writing down the problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just looked at it, it's correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The left-hand side is multiplied, not added?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is all one thing on the left. I don't think the x means multiply. That's how it's written.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I got this but I don't know what to do after \[cotx(1+2\tan^2x)^2=cotx+2\tan^3x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It should be \[1+ \tan ^{2}x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the squared on the outside still right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it finished after that? I don't see anything else to do for it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Each side should be identical. I was working at it but I'm stumped.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are any of the other ones easier?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

These are torturous, what level, what course?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pre-calc honors. Online..

Sorry, you'll find nothing this difficult in calculus.
