prove sin(2x)=2cos(x)

Solution

prove

sin (2 x) = 2 cos (x)

False

Solution steps

sin (2 x) = 2 cos (x)

Show that the two sides are not equal

For

sin (2 x) = 2 cos (x)

plug in

x = 0

sin (2 \cdot 0) = 0

sin (2 \cdot 0)

Simplify

= sin (0)

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (0) = 0

sin (0)

sin (x)

periodicity table with

2 πn

cycle:

x 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{5 π}{6} sin (x) 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} x π \frac{7 π}{6} \frac{5 π}{4} \frac{4 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{2} \frac{5 π}{3} \frac{7 π}{4} \frac{11 π}{6} sin (x) 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2}

= 0

= 0

2 cos (0) = 2

2 cos (0)

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (0) = 1

cos (0)

cos (x)

periodicity table with

2 πn

cycle:

x 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{5 π}{6} cos (x) 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} x π \frac{7 π}{6} \frac{5 π}{4} \frac{4 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{2} \frac{5 π}{3} \frac{7 π}{4} \frac{11 π}{6} cos (x) - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2}

= 1

= 2 \cdot 1

Simplify

= 2

The two sides are not equal

\Rightarrow False

sec (β) sin (β) cot (β) = 1

1 - sin^{2} (θ) + sin^{4} (θ) = cos^{4} (θ)

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

3 - 6 sin^{2} (x) = - 3 cos (2 x)

(sin (\frac{5 \cdot \frac{π}{3}}{4})) = (sin (5 \frac{π}{12}))
