1)If sinA=sinB and cosA=cosB then A=B or else they differ by or
Since the period of sine and cosine is or 360°, the general solution is
or A = B + 360°n, where n is any integer
2)If
then _____.
FOIL out the left side:
If we remember our identities and also notice that we are
asked to find x+y, and notice that there are tangents in
the problem and then we we think of the identity we
have memorized for tan(x+y)
We recognize some of the terms in our equation are like some
of the terms in that identity so let's get tan(x)+tan(y) alone
on the left side since that's the numerator of the right side
of that identity:
Well what do you know! the right side is just the denominator
of the right side of that identity:
So we divide both sides by the right side:
The left side is the left side of that identity and the right side is 1.
So we have
Since the period of the tangent is or 180°
x+y = or 45°+180°n, where n is any integer, positive,
negative, or zero.
