Proving Trigonometric Identities Prove: sin2x/1 + cos2x = tanx

sin2x / (1+cos2x) = tanx


We
will use trigonometric identities to solve.


We will start
from the left side and prove the right side.


==> we
know that:


sin2x -
2sinx*cosx


cos2x = 2cos^2 x
-1


We will
substitute.


==> sin2x / (1+ cos2x) = 2sinx*cosx /
(1+ 2cos^2 x -1)


                                      =
2sinx*cosx/ 2cos^2 x


We will reduce
similar.


==> sin2x / (1+ cos2x) =
sinx/cosx


But we know that tanx =
sinx/cosx


==> sin2x / (1+ cos2x) =
tanx...........q.e.d

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
