ye

AZ:

remember the identity I told you about? cos^2 (x) + sin^2 (x) = 1 what do you get if you solve for cos^2 (x) and then plug that in on the left hand side

snowflake0531:

but the right says 2sin^2 y? not 1

AZ:

it says 1 - 2 sin^2 (y)

AZ:

you need to solve for cos^2 (x) in the identity and plug it in

snowflake0531:

i don't understand

snowflake0531:

cos^2 x = 1-sinx^2 x but it says 1-2sin^2 x how do i plug that in

AZ:

you're getting confused between 2 sin(x) and sin^2 (x) two different things sin * sin gets you sin^2 sin + sin will get you 2 sin

AZ:

so yes cos^2 = 1 - sin^2 and so we go from cos^2 - sin^2 and plugging in 1 - sin^2 what would you get 1 - sin^2 (x) - sin^2 (x)

AZ:

imagine sin^2(x) as a 1 - a - a =

snowflake0531:

oh

snowflake0531:

oh, kay, one sec

snowflake0531:

kay, done, thanksssssssssssssssssssssss

AZ:

no problem :)
