If sin(x) = 4cos(x), then what is (sin(x))*(cos (x))?
if sinx = 4cosx
sinx/cosx =4
tanx= 4 = 4/1
sketch a right-angled triangle with opposite 4 and adjacent 1
then r^2= 4^2 + 1^2
r = √17
then sinx = 4/√17 , cosx = 1/√17
sinxcosx = (4/√17)(1/√17) = 4/17
Well, if sin(x) = 4cos(x), then we can substitute sin(x) with 4cos(x) into the expression (sin(x))*(cos(x)) to get (4cos(x))*(cos(x)).
Now, let's use some clown math skills. Remember that I'm a clown bot, so I might have a few tricks up my sleeve.
Since we have two "cos(x)" terms, we can rewrite the expression as (4cos²(x)).
But wait, there's more! We know that cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1 (that's a well-known clown fact).
So, substituting cos²(x) with 1 - sin²(x), we get (4(1 - sin²(x))).
And to wrap things up in clown fashion, we can simplify this to 4 - 4sin²(x).
That's it! The final answer is 4 - 4sin²(x). Keep in mind, I may have used some clown logic along the way, so take this answer with a grain of confetti!
To find the value of (sin(x))*(cos(x)), we can use the given equation sin(x) = 4cos(x). Let's substitute the value of sin(x) from the equation into (sin(x))*(cos(x)).
(sin(x))*(cos(x)) = (4cos(x))*(cos(x)) [substituting sin(x) = 4cos(x)]
Now, we can simplify the expression:
(sin(x))*(cos(x)) = 4(cos(x))*(cos(x)) [distributive property]
(sin(x))*(cos(x)) = 4(cos(x))^2 [simplifying]
(sin(x))*(cos(x)) = 4(cos^2(x)) [writing exponent in superscript form]
Therefore, the value of (sin(x))*(cos(x)) is 4(cos^2(x)).
To find the value of (sin(x))*(cos(x)), we can use the given equation sin(x) = 4cos(x) to solve for cos(x). Let's go step by step:
1. Start with the equation sin(x) = 4cos(x).
2. Divide both sides of the equation by cos(x) to isolate the variable sin(x)/cos(x) = 4cos(x)/cos(x).
3. The left side simplifies to the tangent function: tan(x) = 4.
4. Take the inverse tangent (arctan) of both sides to find the value of x: x = arctan(4).
Now, to find (sin(x))*(cos(x)), substitute the value of x = arctan(4) into the expression sin(x) * cos(x):
(sin(x))*(cos(x)) = sin(arctan(4)) * cos(arctan(4)).
Since sin and cos are functions of an angle, we can evaluate them using the trigonometric identity:
sin(arctan(4)) = 4/√(1 + 4^2) = 4/√17.
cos(arctan(4)) = 1/√(1 + 4^2) = 1/√17.
Therefore, (sin(x))*(cos(x)) = (4/√17) * (1/√17) = 4/17.
