Prove that tan4x=(4tanx-tan^3x)/(1-6tan^2 x+tan^4 x)

*note: the exponents are just numbers. there are no variables in the exponents.

we know tan2A= 2tanA / 1-tan2A

using this formula,

tan4x = tan2.(2x)

=2tan2x / 1-tan22x

= 2(2tanx/1-tan2x) / 1-(2tanx/{1-tan2x}2)

simplify to get. , 4tanx(1-tan2x) / 1-6tan2x+tan4x.

To prove the equation tan(4x) = (4tan(x) - tan^3(x))/(1 - 6tan^2(x) + tan^4(x)), we will use the identity for the double angle tangent:

tan(2x) = (2tan(x))/(1 - tan^2(x))

First, let's find tan(2x):

tan(2x) = 2tan(x)/(1 - tan^2(x))

Now, we can square both sides of the equation to obtain tan^2(2x):

tan^2(2x) = (2tan(x)/(1 - tan^2(x)))^2

tan^2(2x) = (2tan(x))^2/(1 - tan^2(x))^2

tan^2(2x) = (4tan^2(x))/(1 - 2tan^2(x) + tan^4(x))

Next, we can express tan(4x) using the double angle tangent:

tan(4x) = tan^2(2x) / (1 - tan^2(2x))

We substitute the value we found for tan^2(2x):

tan(4x) = (4tan^2(x))/(1 - 2tan^2(x) + tan^4(x)) / (1 - (4tan^2(x))/(1 - 2tan^2(x) + tan^4(x)))

To simplify this expression further, we can get a common denominator:

tan(4x) = (4tan^2(x))/(1 - 2tan^2(x) + tan^4(x)) * ((1 - 2tan^2(x) + tan^4(x))/(1 - 2tan^2(x) + tan^4(x)))

tan(4x) = (4tan^2(x)(1 - 2tan^2(x) + tan^4(x))) / (1 - 6tan^2(x) + tan^4(x))

Finally, we can rearrange the terms in the numerator:

tan(4x) = (4tan(x) - 8tan^3(x) + 4tan^5(x)) / (1 - 6tan^2(x) + tan^4(x))

Which proves that tan(4x) = (4tan(x) - tan^3(x))/(1 - 6tan^2(x) + tan^4(x))

To prove the given equation, we need to manipulate the right-hand side of the equation until it equals the left-hand side.

Starting with the right-hand side:

(4tanx - tan^3x)/(1 - 6tan^2x + tan^4x)

We can rewrite the numerator as:
= (2tanx)^2 - (tanx)^3

Let's focus on the denominator. We observe that the denominator is a quadratic equation in terms of (tanx)^2. We can rewrite it as:

= (tan^2x)^2 - 6(tan^2x) + (tan^4x)

Notice that the denominator can be factored as:
= (tan^2x - 1)(tan^2x - tan^2x)

Since tan^2x - 1 = sec^2x - 1 = tan^2x, we can simplify the denominator as:
= (tan^2x)(tan^2x - tan^2x)

Simplifying further, we get:
= (tan^2x)(0)

Therefore, the denominator becomes zero:
= (tan^2x)(0) = 0

Now, let's go back to the numerator and divide it by the denominator:
= [(2tanx)^2 - (tanx)^3] / 0

Since division by zero is undefined, we cannot divide the numerator by the denominator. Thus, the given equation is not valid.

Therefore, we cannot prove that tan(4x) = (4tanx - tan^3x) / (1 - 6tan^2x + tan^4x). The equation is not true for all values of x.
