Math (Trig) a.s.a.p, thanks!
verify the identities: 1.) 2tanx-(1+tanx)^2 = -secx 2.) cos(x-330degrees)=1/2(ã3cosx-sinx) *the ãis only over the 3* 3.) 1+cos2x/sinx=cotx any help is greatly appreciated!!

sorry, another I can't figure out Show that (1-cot^2x)/(tan^2x-1)=cot^2x I started by factoring both as difference of squares. Would I be better served by writing in terms of sine and cosine? Such as: [1-(cos^2x/sin^2x)]/[(sin^2x/cos^2x)-1]=(cos^2x/sin^2x)

Solve in terms of sine and cosine: sec(x) csc(x)- sec(x) sin(x) so far I have: 1/cos(x) 1/sin(x) - 1/cos(x) sin(x) I am not sure where to go to from there. The book says the answer is cot(x) or cos(x)/sin(x) Thank you in advance.

Am I right on this? 2sec^2(2x)-8=0 2sec^2(2x)=8 divide by 2 sec^2(2x)=4 find square root sec(2x)=2 Now, would this simply be asking me to find where secant is equal to one? Or is there no solution because secan't (pun intended) be equal to anything above 1?
