Help.

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

Having a question would help me help you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sin^2 20 + \cos^2 20\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol sorry i was typing it ;D

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

Look up the Pythagorean theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the exact value of each expression.

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

Come on someone... What is Sin^2 + Cos^2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know it is 1

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

Okay, so what is Sin^2(20)+Cos^2(20)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i'm confused now :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sin ^2 x + \cos^{1} x = 1\] So here, since the angle (20) is the same, it is 1.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[\sin^2x+\cos^2x=1\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And we don't care what x is

geerky42 (geerky42):

\(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\) for any value of \(\theta\) so it is 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i know it is one, so we just use that identity @Mertsj ?

geerky42 (geerky42):

Yeah

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okaii, i was confused :) thnx :D

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

Okay.. let's explain this in a better way. |dw:1367460502485:dw| Sin^2(le bear) + Cos^2(le bear) = 1
