SOLUTION: Please Prove the following identities 1.) Tan (x/2) = tan (x)/sec (x) + 1 2.) sin(2x)

SOLUTION: Please Prove the following identities 1.) Tan (x/2) = tan (x)/sec (x) + 1 2.) sin(2x) - tan(x) = tan(x) cos (2x)

Question 816297: Please Prove the following identities
1.) Tan (x/2) = tan (x)/sec (x) + 1
2.) sin(2x) - tan(x) = tan(x) cos (2x)

Please Prove the following identities
1.) Tan (x/2) = tan (x)/sec (x) + 1
start with right side:
tanx/(secx+1)=(sin/cos)/((1/cos)+1)=(sin/cos)/((1+cos)/cos)
=
verified: right side=left side
..
2.) sin(2x) - tan(x) = tan(x) cos (2x)
start with right side:
tanxcos2x=(sin/cos)(2cos^2-1)=2sincos-sin/cos=sin(2x)-tan(x)
verified: right side=left side
