Trig identity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large 1-(\sin^6x+cox^6x)=3\sin^2xcos^2x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large 1-(x^6+6x^5y+10x^4y^2+20x^3y^3+10x^3y^4+6xy^5+y^6)\]

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\large a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2+ab+b^2)\) write \(\sin^6x=(\sin^2x)^3\)

hartnn (hartnn):

same for cos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like this ? \[1-(\sin^3x)^3(\cos^3x)^3\]

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\large 1-(\sin^6x+cox^6x)=1-((\sin^2x)^3+(\cos^2x)^3)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doesnt that equal 5

hartnn (hartnn):

no, how ?

hartnn (hartnn):

2*3=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH yeah sorry i was adding

hartnn (hartnn):

now apply that formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know what to do

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\large (\sin^2x)^3+(\cos^2x)^3=(..+..)(..+..+..)\) \(\large a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)\) sorry, i made a typo before.

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\large (\sin^2x)^3+(\cos^2x)^3=(..+..)(..-..+..)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large (\sin^2x+\cos^2x) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i multiply that with Pascal's triangle

hartnn (hartnn):

were u not able to fill this ? \(\large (\sin^2x)^3+(\cos^2x)^3=(..+..)(..-..+..)\) also , standard identity \(sin^2x+cos^2x= ??\)

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\large a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2) \\ a=\sin^2x,b=\cos^2x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh so \[(1)(\sin^2x)^2-(\sin^2xcos^2x)+(\cos^2x)\]

hartnn (hartnn):

\((1)((\sin^2x)^2-(\sin^2x\cos^2x)+(\cos^2x)^2)\) now use \(\large (a^2+b^2)=(a+b)^2-2ab\)

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\large a=\sin^2x,b=\cos^2x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(\sin^2x+\cos^2)^2-2\sin^2xcos^2x\]

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, and that simplifies to ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1-2\sin^2xcos^2x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but wont it be 1-1 ... because of the initial one in the question

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\large 1-(\sin^6x+cox^6x)=1-(1-2\sin^2x\cos^2x-\sin^2x\cos^2x)=?\)

hartnn (hartnn):

yeah, 1 cancels out, what remains ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2\sin^2xcos^2x-\sin^2xcos^2x)\]

hartnn (hartnn):

\(1-(1-2\sin^2x\cos^2x-\sin^2x\cos^2x)=1-1+2\sin^2x\cos^2x+\sin^2x\cos^2x=?\)

hartnn (hartnn):

\(2\sin^2xcos^2x+\sin^2xcos^2x\) any doubts ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope i dont think so but how does that equal the right

hartnn (hartnn):

because 2+1=3 :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am so confused :(

hartnn (hartnn):

\(2\sin^2xcos^2x+\sin^2xcos^2x=(2+1)\sin^2xcos^2x=3\sin^2xcos^2x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH haha i see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankyou

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
