\n" ); document.write( "After replacing your \"0\" with \"theta\", the equation as you show it is this:

\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%28theta%29%2F1-cos%28theta%29-sin%28theta%29%2F1%2Bcos%28theta%29+=+2%2Ftan%28theta%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "That equation is not true....

\n" ); document.write( "If your study of math has reached the point where you are learning proving trig identities, then you should know that proper use of parentheses is important....!

\n" ); document.write( "Let's look at the left-hand side of the inequality you INTENDED to show and see if we can show it is equivalent to the right-hand side.

\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%28theta%29%2F%281-cos%28theta%29%29+-+sin%28theta%29%2F%281%2Bcos%28theta%29%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "Combine fractions with the common denominator, \"%281-cos%28theta%29%29%281%2Bcos%28theta%29%29=1-cos%5E2%28theta%29=sin%5E2%28theta%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "\"%282sin%28theta%29cos%28theta%29%29%2Fsin%5E2%28theta%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "\"2cos%28theta%29%2Fsin%28theta%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "\"2cot%28theta%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2Ftan%28theta%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "The proof is complete.
