\[\frac{ \sin^2x-1 }{ \cos(-x) }\]
simplify
cos(-x)=cosx 1=sin^2x+cos^2x Therefore, it becomes sin^2x-sin^2x+cos^2x/cosx =cos^2x/cosx=cosx
u can use \[\large \sin^2x+\cos^2=1 \] and the fact that \(\cos x\) is an even function.
i feel like your picture and username are connected because it looks like fruitcake and your picture looks like a circuit board so i just keep thinking to you give people circuitboard fruitcakes at Christmas time....
and your answers wrong ^.^
@helder_edwin how would i go about putting that formula into my equation?
first of all yeas my answer is wrong because there must be a minus before the cos^2x so the result becomes -cos(x) And I like your perspective i didnt think like this before now :)
\[\large \frac{\sin^2x-1}{\cos(-x)}=\frac{-\cos^2x}{\cos x}=-\cos x \]
yay you both got the same answer c: okay kagitucak you give edwin a medal and ill give you a medal c: sound fair?
okay :)
you both helped equal so one of you give the other a medal thats only fair c:
