1.
Remember: sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1, so sin^2 x = 1 - cos^2 x
cos^2 β - sin^2 β = cos^2 β - (1 - cos^2 β) = 2 cos^2 β - 1
2.
cos[pi/2 - x] = sin x and sin[pi/2 - x] = cos x
You can show this easily in two ways:
i) Expand by using cos(a+b) = cos a cos b - sin a sin b, and sin(a+b) = sin a cos b + cos a sin b
ii) Imagine a right-angled triangle, where the angles are x, pi/2 and pi/2 - x. Then you can easily see that cos[pi/2 - x] = sin x and sin[pi/2 - x] = cos x.
So then, cos[(pi/2)-x]/sin[(pi/2)-x] = sin x / cos x = tan x by definition.
3.
sec^2[pi/2 - x] - 1 = 1/cos^2[pi/2 - x] - 1 = 1/sin^2[x] - 1 = (1 - sin^2[x]) / sin^2[x] = cos^2[x] / sin^2[x] = cot^2[x].
4.
sin x (1 - 2cos^2 x + cos^4 x) = sin x (1 - cos^2 x)(1 - cos^2 x) = sin x (sin^2 x) (sin^2 x) = sin^5 x
5.
Remember that sec x = 1/cos x, and that ln(a/b) = ln a - ln b.
ln(sec θ) = ln(1/cos θ) = ln 1 - ln(cos θ) = -ln(cos θ) [because ln 1 = 0].
Hope this helps :)
i'm unlikely to do the coolest purchase yet provides you with some rules. a) divide the two factors via cosx to get sinx/cosx = a million so tanx = a million b) subtract cos^2x from the two factors to get 0 = a million - cos^2x so 0 = sin^2x d) and right here few contain breaking apart the double angles and then factorising.
