a quick trig proof?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[prove\] \[\frac{ \sin2x - \cos2x }{ \sin2x + \cos2x} = \tan2x\]

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

Quick huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, i remember there are just 3 or 5 steps max... but i dont remember... i guess you begin by dividing the num and denom by cos2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and in the end you (probably) use the formula tan2x= 2tanx/ 1 - tan²x ....but i can´t remember the steps in between

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

My way is long. So can't quickly do this now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well no probs!! whatever gets this proved! long or short doesnt matter...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathstudent55 will you please make up your mind?!? im getting so restless here, because i can´t remember this solution ^-^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pleeease!!!! anyone!!!

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Are you sure you copied this proof correctly? I'm not sure this is a true identity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait a sec, i´ll give you the complete question:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

differentiate \[\tan ^{-1}\left( \frac{ \sin2x - \cos2x }{ \sin2x +\cos2x }\right)\] with relation to x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the answer given is 2

I don't know. My suggestion is for you to start a new post with the question as you asked now.
