Tring Identity (Discussion)

The_Ahmad saidSun, 12 Apr 2009 13:13:23 -0000 ( Link )

Can anyone solve this trig identity. State restrictions on theta (x) if they apply.

tan x / cos x = sin x / 1 – sin2 (squared) x

It seemed simple enough but I seem to be having some trouble.

    X=45 COSX IS NOT EQUAL TO 0

    X=45, COSX IS NOT EQUAL TO 0, SINX IS NOT EQUAL TO+1&-1

    @the_ahmad:

    x can’t be equal to 90 or generally speaking x!= (180n + 90)

    ankit proposed his solution thinking that you’ve written sin2(x) – but this can’t be, since the expression won’t be an identity in that case; it has to be [sin(x)]^2

    where did you get stuck?

    From the given equality it is clear that Cos x cannot be equal to 0. Hence x cannot take 90. General value is of course 180n + 90
