\(\Large\color{blue}{ \bf (a-b)(a+b) =a^2-b^2 }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Then apply the \(\Large\color{red}{ \bf sin^2x+cos^2x=1 }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

a is 1 and b is sin(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1 - sin(x) How do I apply this to sin^2x + cos^2x = 1 ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

not sin(x), but sin²x

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

And then, \(\Large\color{red}{ \bf sin^2x+cos^2x=1 }\) \(\Large\color{blue}{ \bf ~-sin^2x~~~~~~~~~~~-sin^2x }\) \(\Large\color{red}{ \bf cos^2x=1-sin^2x }\)

@SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I told you all the steps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then how do I find the answer?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am telling you, Expand \(\Large\color{red}{ \bf (1-sin~x)(1+sin~x) }\) using (a+b)(a-b)=a²-b² Then apply the \(\Large\color{red}{ \bf cos^2x=1-sin^2x }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it will equal to (cos x)^2

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yeah :)

Thanks!
