From Michael: 1) Determine if the following is an identity. If it is, prove it, If it isn't state it.
tan x + cot x = sec x * csc x
and
1 - (cos^2) x = 1+ (cot^2) x Answered by Robert Dawson and Harley Weston. |

From Suzanne: I'm a UR University Graduate (with High honours!) but not in math: I'm taking GeoTrig, Sk Learning version, and the text is poorly written. But I was flying through the material until I hit the Trig Identities. I just don't get WHY we have them, why we should know them? What good is this "theory". All that "simplying" rarely yeilds a simple-er version! Also, give me advice for how to study them.
Thanks

From mandy: I have a few questions that I need help with for my precal class in college. The following have to prove the trigonometric identities:
cos4x + 2cos2x sin2x + sin4x = 1
sin4x - cos4x = 1 - 2cos2x
thanks you, Answered by Stephen La Rocque. |

From Kevin:
I am trying to solve for A and B but haven't been able to find a trig identity that will help me.
1.414 = .5cosA + cosB
.5 = .5sinA - sinB
how do I solve this?

Some trig expressions |
2004-05-23 |
|
From A student: Prove:
sin A + sin B = 2sin(A+B/2)cos(A-B/2)
cos A - cos B = -2sin(A+B/2)sin(A-B/2)
cos A + cos B = 2cos(A+B/2)cos(A-B/2)
sin A - sin B = 2cos(A+B/2)sin(A+B/2) Answered by Penny Nom. |
