Write the difference in tanpi/4-cosx as a product?

First, we'll substitute the function tan pi/4 by it's
value 1.


To transform the difference into a product, we'll
have to express the value 1 as being the function cosine of an angle, so that the terms
of the difference to be 2 like trigonometric functions.


1 =
cos 0 or cos 2pi


1 - cosx = cos 0-cos
x


cos 0-cos x =  -2 sin (0+x)/2*sin
(0-x)/2


cos 0-cos x = -2sin (x/2)*sin
(-x/2)


Because of the fact that the trigonometric function
sine is an odd function , we'll write sin (-x/2)=-sin
(x/2)


cos 0-cos x = 2sin (x/2)*sin
(x/2)


tan pi/4 - cos x = 2[sin
(x/2)]^2

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) ...
