Double Angle Identities - Trigonometry - Socratic
How do you find the exact values of sin 2u, cos 2u, and tan 2u using the double-angle formulas given #tan u = 3/4#, #0 < u < pi/2#? How do you use the formulas for sin (A +- B) and cos (A +-B) to prove the double angle formulas for sin 2A and cos 2A?
How do you simplify #tan(sin^-1(x))#? - Socratic
2016年5月27日 · Let #sin^-1x=theta# hence #x=sintheta#. For #0<x<1# we draw a right triangle with hypotenuse equal to 1 and the other side equals to #x# like the one in the Figure below.

Prove the identity tan^2x-sin^2x is same as (tan^2x)(sin^2x)?
2017年12月7日 · tan^2(x)-sin^2(x) = tan^2(x)sin^2(x) Assuming tan^2(x)-sin^2(x) = tan^2(x)sin^2(x), start off by rewriting tan^2(x) in to its sin(x) and cos(x) components. sin^2(x ...
Proving Identities - Trigonometry - Socratic
The functions sine, cosine and tangent of an angle are sometimes referred to as the primary or basic trigonometric functions.
Half-Angle Identities - Trigonometry - Socratic
#sin a = 2 sin (a/2)* cos (a/2)# Half angle Identities in term of t = tan a/2. 2. #sin a = (2t)/(1 + t^2)# 3. #cos a = (1 - t^2)/(1 + t^2)# #tan a = (2t)/(1 - t^2).# Use of half angle identities to solve trig equations. Example. Solve #cos x + 2*sin x = 1 + tan (x/2).# Solution. Call #t = tan (x/2)#. Use half angle identities (2) and (3) to ...
Special Limits Involving sin (x), x, and tan (x) - Socratic
For very small values of x, the functions \\sin(x), x, and \\tan(x) are all approximately equal. This can be found by using the Squeeze Law.
