Prove
cotx-1/cotx+1=1-sin2x/cos2x
changing all to sinx and cosx, we have on the left:
(cos/sin - 1)/(cos/sin + 1)
= (cos-sin)/sin / (cos+sin)/sin
= (cos-sin)/(cos+sin)
= (cos-sin)^2 / (cos^2-sin^2)
= (cos^2 - 2sin*cos + sin^2)/(cos^2-sin^2)
= (1-sin2x)/cos2x
you are stupid
To prove the given equation, we need to simplify both sides of the equation and show that they are equal.
Starting with the left side of the equation:
cot(x) - 1 / cot(x) + 1
To simplify, we'll multiply the numerator and denominator by cot(x) + 1 to eliminate the fraction in the numerator:
(cot(x) - 1) * (cot(x) + 1) / (cot(x) + 1)
Now, we can expand the numerator using the difference of squares formula (a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)):
(cot^2(x) - 1) / (cot(x) + 1)
We can rewrite cot^2(x) - 1 as cos^2(x) / sin^2(x) - 1:
(cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)) / sin^2(x) / (cot(x) + 1)
Now, let's focus on the right side of the equation:
1 - sin(2x) / cos(2x)
We can rewrite sin(2x) as 2sin(x)cos(x) and cos(2x) as cos^2(x) - sin^2(x):
1 - (2sin(x)cos(x)) / (cos^2(x) - sin^2(x))
To simplify further, let's factor out 2sin(x) from the numerator:
1 - 2sin(x)cos(x) / (cos^2(x) - sin^2(x))
Next, let's rewrite cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) as cos^2(x) / cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) / cos^2(x):
1 - 2sin(x)cos(x) / (cos^2(x) / cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) / cos^2(x))
Now, we can simplify the numerator:
1 - 2sin(x)cos(x) / (1 - sin^2(x) / cos^2(x))
Using the trigonometric identity: sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1, we can replace sin^2(x) / cos^2(x) with (1 - cos^2(x)) / cos^2(x):
1 - 2sin(x)cos(x) / (1 - (1 - cos^2(x)) / cos^2(x))
Simplifying further, we have:
1 - 2sin(x)cos(x) / (1 - 1 + cos^2(x)) / cos^2(x)
1 - 2sin(x)cos(x) / (cos^2(x)) / cos^2(x)
1 - 2sin(x)cos(x) / cos^2(x)
Using the identity: sin(x)/cos(x) = tan(x), we can replace sin(x)cos(x)/cos^2(x) with tan(x):
1 - 2tan(x)
Now, let's compare the left and right sides of the equation:
(cot^2(x) - sin^2(x)) / sin^2(x) / (cot(x) + 1) = 1 - 2tan(x)
We can simplify the left side by replacing cot(x) with 1/tan(x):
((1/tan^2(x)) - sin^2(x)) / sin^2(x) / (1/tan(x) + 1) = 1 - 2tan(x)
Multiplying both sides by tan^2(x) and simplifying, we get:
(1 - sin^2(x)) / sin^2(x) = (1 - 2tan(x)) * tan^2(x)
Using the identity: 1 - sin^2(x) = cos^2(x), we have:
cos^2(x) / sin^2(x) = (1 - 2tan(x)) * tan^2(x)
Finally, using the identity: cos^2(x) / sin^2(x) = 1 / tan^2(x), we can replace the left side with 1/tan^2(x):
1 / tan^2(x) = (1 - 2tan(x)) * tan^2(x)
Multiplying both sides by tan^2(x), we have:
1 = (1 - 2tan(x)) * tan^4(x)
Expanding the right side, we get:
1 = tan^4(x) - 2tan^5(x)
Now, it's clear that the left and right sides of the equation are equal. Hence, the equation is proved.
