Can anyone help me in this

OpenStudy (joshtray):

With what?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes sure than you write here your question we can try help you

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

\[\cos ^{2}\alpha+\cos ^{2}\beta+\cos ^{2}\gamma=1\] How can the above expression be expressed as

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

<< ... expressed as >> ... as what ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

in a different form ? using what ? in function of what ?

OpenStudy (joshtray):

???

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

hope you know that sin^2 ß + cos^2 ß = 1 yes ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

using this you can rewriting this your given equation in the form of cos^2 alpha = 1 -sin^2 alpha for example so than you need rewrite it using sinus

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@TheSmartOne do you understand this question really ?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

no, seems incomplete

OpenStudy (joshtray):

uhuh

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

i m trying attach

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

its just not happening

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

network seems slow

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so there are 1 = ---------------------------- sqrt( (h/a)^2 +(k/b)^2 +(l/c)^2 ) ok. but what is in front of this ,,equal" sign ?

OpenStudy (joshtray):

\[=\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{(\frac{ h }{ a })^{2}+(\frac{ k }{ b})^{2}+(\frac{ l }{ c })^{2^{}}} }\]

OpenStudy (joshtray):

That's what is written there

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes - ok. but in front of this fraction what wan being ?

OpenStudy (joshtray):

its an '=' sign

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes ok. and in front of this equal sign need being there anything or not ?

OpenStudy (joshtray):

I doubt that the '=' sign is relevant

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

cos2α+cos2β+cos2γ=1 this wan being in front of this equal sign without 1 so just the left part of this equation ?

OpenStudy (joshtray):

I think this person means express the first equation in terms of that expression

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes i think it same too - but the asker go away - not is here online

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

and we need to know what are from there h,k and l so a,b, and c and so from this above first wrote equation this alpha,beta and gamma what mean these exactly ?

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

d= the expression in attachment

@jhonyy9 Sorry there was network error when i uploaded. can u help me now?
