prove (1+tan^2(x))/(cot^2(x)+1)=tan^2(x)

Solution

prove

\frac{1 + tan ^{2} ( x )}{cot ^{2} ( x ) + 1} = tan^{2} (x)

Solution

True

Solution steps

\frac{1 + tan ^{2} ( x )}{cot ^{2} ( x ) + 1} = tan^{2} (x)

Manipulating left side

\frac{1 + tan ^{2} ( x )}{cot ^{2} ( x ) + 1}

Express with sin, cos

\frac{1 + tan ^{2} ( x )}{1 + cot ^{2} ( x )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{1 + ( \frac{s i n ( x )}{c o s ( x )} ) ^{2}}{1 + cot ^{2} ( x )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

cot (x) = \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )}

= \frac{1 + ( \frac{s i n ( x )}{c o s ( x )} ) ^{2}}{1 + ( \frac{c o s ( x )}{s i n ( x )} ) ^{2}}

Simplify

\frac{1 + ( \frac{s i n ( x )}{c o s ( x )} ) ^{2}}{1 + ( \frac{c o s ( x )}{s i n ( x )} ) ^{2}} : \frac{sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

\frac{1 + ( \frac{s i n ( x )}{c o s ( x )} ) ^{2}}{1 + ( \frac{c o s ( x )}{s i n ( x )} ) ^{2}}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{1 + ( \frac{s i n ( x )}{c o s ( x )} ) ^{2}}{1 + \frac{c o s ^{2} ( x )}{s i n ^{2} ( x )}}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{1 + \frac{s i n ^{2} ( x )}{c o s ^{2} ( x )}}{1 + \frac{c o s ^{2} ( x )}{s i n ^{2} ( x )}}

Join

1 + \frac{cos ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )} : \frac{sin ^{2} ( x ) + cos ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

1 + \frac{cos ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 sin ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{1 \cdot sin ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )} + \frac{cos ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot sin ^{2} ( x ) + cos ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Multiply:

1 \cdot sin^{2} (x) = sin^{2} (x)

= \frac{sin ^{2} ( x ) + cos ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{1 + \frac{s i n ^{2} ( x )}{c o s ^{2} ( x )}}{\frac{s i n ^{2} ( x ) + c o s ^{2} ( x )}{s i n ^{2} ( x )}}

Join

1 + \frac{sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )} : \frac{cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

1 + \frac{sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 cos ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{1 \cdot cos ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )} + \frac{sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

Multiply:

1 \cdot cos^{2} (x) = cos^{2} (x)

= \frac{cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{\frac{c o s ^{2} ( x ) + s i n ^{2} ( x )}{c o s ^{2} ( x )}}{\frac{s i n ^{2} ( x ) + c o s ^{2} ( x )}{s i n ^{2} ( x )}}

Divide fractions:

\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}} = \frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}

= \frac{( cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x ) ) sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x ) ( sin ^{2} ( x ) + cos ^{2} ( x ) )}

Cancel the common factor:

cos^{2} (x) + sin^{2} (x)

= \frac{sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

Rewrite using trig identities

= \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} \cdot \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = tan (x)

\frac{sin ( x ) tan ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= tan (x) \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = tan (x)

tan (x) tan (x)

Simplify

tan (x) tan (x) : tan^{2} (x)

tan (x) tan (x)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

tan (x) tan (x) = tan^{1 + 1} (x)

= tan^{1 + 1} (x)

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= tan^{2} (x)

tan^{2} (x)

tan^{2} (x)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
