Algebra.Com's Answer #432219 by DrBeeee(684)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rather than typing theta, I'll use x. \n" ); document.write( "The left side has \n" ); document.write( "(1) (sin x * cos x)/(cos^2 x - sin^2 x) \n" ); document.write( "Now divide both numerator and denominator by cos^2 x and get \n" ); document.write( "(2) (sin x /cos x)/(1-(sin^2 x /cos^2 x)) \n" ); document.write( "Using the identity \n" ); document.write( "(3) tan x = sin x /cos x \n" ); document.write( "we get the left side equals \n" ); document.write( "(4) tan x/(1-tan^2 x) \n" ); document.write( "which is the same as the given right side, thus demonstrating the identity. \n" ); document.write( " |
