any help is appreciated :)
OpenStudy (john_es):
You should use the relations:
\[\sec\theta=\frac{1}{\cos\theta}\]
\[1+\tan^2\theta=\frac{1}{\cos^2\theta}\]
OpenStudy (muddahamburglar):
@John_ES what does cos2theta turn into
OpenStudy (muddahamburglar):
1-sin^2theta?
Still Need Help?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
tan theta = sin theta/cos theta
tan sq theta = sin sq theta/cos sq theta
\[\frac{ \sec \theta }{ 1 + \tan^2 \theta }\]
OpenStudy (john_es):
You don't need to transform cos2theta, as the problem ask you to put the expression in function of cos.
OpenStudy (muddahamburglar):
wait so what do i need to do next i'm confused
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
When their a lot of tan's and sec's and cot's in the equation convert them to cos and sin.
OpenStudy (john_es):
Yes, you have to convert all the expressions. But in this case, it is simpler, as you only need to put the sec as a cos, and the tan2 as a cos2. The simplify to get the final result.

OpenStudy (muddahamburglar):
how is tan2 turned into cos2?
OpenStudy (muddahamburglar):
is it bc tan2theta = to sec2theta then it's 1/costheta
OpenStudy (muddahamburglar):
i meant sectheta *
OpenStudy (john_es):
This way,\[1+\tan^2\theta=\frac{1}{\cos^2\theta}\]
