How do you find the product of (4tan(y)+4cot(y))^2? Trigonometry Trigonometric Identities and Equations Fundamental Identities 1 Answer Sonnhard Jun 25, 2018 16(tan^2(y)+cot^2(y)+2) Explanation: We are using that (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2 and tan(x)*cot(x)=1 so we get 16(tan(y)+cot(y))^2= 16(tan^2(y)+cot^2(y)+2) Answer link Related questions How do you use the fundamental trigonometric identities to determine the simplified form of the...
