2x^2 = 2 + y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you want?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simply it. would I get like xy=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm trying to do 2sin^2 = 2 + cos but I tried to do the algebraic form first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you want yx=? are you sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what I really need is 2sin^2 = 2 + cos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your first equation is 2sin^2 = 2 + cos ??!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is very different because very relations between sin and cos are identifed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but i was trying to see if it worked cause for other problems if I work it the algebraic way it will work with the precalculus.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)) very funny

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey that's what my teacher told us to do if we had any problems! :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So can you help me with this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

probably your teacher mentioned to an especial kind of problems.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example 1=sin^2 +cos^2 and you can get 2sin^2 = 2 + cos 2sin^2 = (1) +1 + cos 2sin^2 = (sin^2 +cos^2) +1 + cos sin^2 = cos^2 +1 + cos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

relation are in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosine#Sine.2C_cosine.2C_and_tangent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. 2sin^2 = (1) +1 + cos b. 2sin^2 = (sin^2 +cos^2) +1 + cos How did you get from a to b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is all so confusing. You know what? Nevermind all this. Thanks for trying to help! Really appreciate it. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by this formula: 1=sin^2 +cos^2 and replaced it on 2sin^2 = (1) +1 + cos (replace 1 on the parenthes by 1=sin^2 +cos^2) get 2sin^2 = (sin^2 +cos^2) +1 + cos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

some of the relation you can easily obtain by replacing 1 by http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/7/0/7/707415edba7cf845f7fafbf0cc95e23e.png and simplification

OpenStudy (anonymous):

another relation obtain: cos(x)+cos(2x)+1=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, yeah I understand that but then in sin^2 = cos^2 +1 + cos how do you add cos^2 + cos?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i will be go, bye

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, thank you, bye :)
