prove that (sinA)/1+cosA = tan(1/2)A I can't seem to see it? ><

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hint1 : sin(A) = 2sin(A/2) cos(A/2)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hint2 : cosA = 2cos^2(A/2) - 1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

just let A = 2X if you want..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh so sin/cos i'll end up with tan(A/2)

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

Right: =-=-=- \[\frac{ sinA }{ CosA + 1 } = \tan(\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } A)\] \[\frac{ SinA }{ 1+(2Cos^2\frac{ A }{ 2 }) - 1}\] \[\frac{ SinA }{ 2Cos^2(\frac{ A }{ 2 })}\] Left: =-=-=-= tan(A/2) = \[\frac{ Sin(A/2) }{ Cos(A/2) } * 2Cos(A/2) \] \[\frac{ 2Sin(A/2)Cos(A/2) }{ 2Cos(A/2)*Cos(A/2) }\] \[SinA/ 2Cos^2(A/2)\] Right = left

yeap i got taht thank you

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

Fine.You are welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but @TrojanPoem wouldn't it be sinA/2 • cosA/2 and not cos^2A/2?
