cos(θ)-cos(θ) sin^2(θ) HELP :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you trying to solve for theta or simplify?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplify!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

using identities

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, one sec. let me figure this out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AFleming42 do you see a common factor in both terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zordoloom i already see the simplification and are trying to walk her through it if you would prefer to walk her through it then let me know but please do not just give her answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, start by factoring out cos(θ) from the left side you get (1-sin(θ)^2)cos(θ)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@whatisthequestion alright, let't work through this together then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zordoloom you look like you have this I just thought that if you were not willing o put in the time then I would let you know I was but I will move on to help someone else

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, so from (1-sin()θ^2)cos(θ), you get something that looks like cos(θ)^3
