@perl
we should start with the right side?
yess
$$ \Large { \tan x ( 1 + \cos(2x) )= \\ = \tan x ( 1 + 2\cos^2(x)-1 )= } $$
i used the substitution cos(2x) = 2cos^2 x -1
how did u get rid of the cosx>
$$ \Large { \tan x ( 1 + \cos(2x) ) \\ = \tan x ( 1 + \color{red}{ 2\cos^2(x)-1} ) \\= \tan x \cdot 2\cos^2(x) \\= \frac{\sin x}{\cos x } \cdot 2\cos^2(x) \\~\\= 2 \sin x \cos x \\~\\= \color{blue}{\sin(2x)} } $$
the red and blue are substitutions
Trig identities: sin(2x) = 2sin x cos x cos(2x) = 2cos^2 x - 1
i know but u know u cosx was left
how did u get rid of that..
in the last line, 2sin x cos x = sin(2x) , thats a trig identity
You can prove that by use of the addition formula: sin(2x) = sin(x+x) = sin x cos x + cos x sin x = 2 sin x cos x
this is a good resource for identities http://www.purplemath.com/modules/idents.htm
ohkk
i have another queestion
