Question #2fb5f
1 Answer
Apply the Sum and Difference Formulas for Sine and Cosine functions:
sin(x+y) = sin(x)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y)sin(x+y)=sin(x)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y)
sin(x-y) = sin(x)cos(y)-cos(x)sin(y)sin(x−y)=sin(x)cos(y)−cos(x)sin(y)
cos(x+y) =cos(x)cos(y) -sin(x)sin(y)cos(x+y)=cos(x)cos(y)−sin(x)sin(y)
cos(x-y) =cos(x)cos(y) +sin(x)sin(y)cos(x−y)=cos(x)cos(y)+sin(x)sin(y)
We'll attempt to evaluate the numerator and denominator separately to avoid excessively large expressions:
Numerator:
=color(red)(sin(x)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y))+color(blue)(sin(x)cos(y)-cos(x)sin(y))=sin(x)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y)+sin(x)cos(y)−cos(x)sin(y)
= 2sin(x)cos(y)=2sin(x)cos(y)
Denominator:
=color(red)(cos(x)cos(y) -sin(x)sin(y)) +color(blue)(cos(x)cos(y) +sin(x)sin(y))=cos(x)cos(y)−sin(x)sin(y)+cos(x)cos(y)+sin(x)sin(y)
=2cos(x)cos(y)=2cos(x)cos(y)
Left-side of Equation
(cancel(2)sin(x)cancel(cos(y)))/(cancel(2)cos(x)cancel(cos(y)))
=tan(x)
