Prove the identity? Medal and fan :)
\[\tan \theta = 1 - \cos 2 \theta/ \sin2\theta\]
use double angle identity \[\cos 2 \theta = \cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta\] \[\sin 2 \theta = 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta\]
I know that much, Idk how to set it up @dumbcow
ok well did you substitute in, then make a simplification --> 1- cos^2 = sin^2
Yeah I have, I spent so long on this. I don't know what I'm doing wrong @dumbcow
\[\frac{1 - (\cos^2 - \sin^2)}{2 \sin \cos} = \frac{2 \sin^2}{2 \sin \cos} = ?\] did you get this far
Uh no?
lol you just said you substituted in for sin(2x) and cos(2x) and simplified using pythagorean thm
The only thing I did that I know is right so far is \[1- \cos ^2 \theta - \sin ^ 2 \theta / 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta\]
@dumbcow
no its 1 - (cos^2 - sin^2) = (1 - cos^2) + sin^2 = sin^2 + sin^2 = 2 sin^2
