1. Prove the following trig identity
tan(x/2)=sinx/1+cosx​

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \tan( \frac{x}{2} ) = \frac{ \sin(x) }{1 + \cos(x) } [/tex]

[tex] \tan( \frac{x}{2} ) = \frac{ \sqrt{1 - \cos(x) } }{ \sqrt{1 + \cos(x) } } [/tex]

So we have

[tex] \frac{ \sqrt{1 - \cos(x) } }{ \sqrt{1 + \cos(x) } } = \frac{ \sin(x) }{ \sqrt{1 + \cos(x) } } [/tex]

Next, we then rationalize the numerator so we get

[tex] \frac{ \sqrt{1 - \cos(x) } }{ \sqrt{1 + \cos(x) } } \frac{ \sqrt{1 + \cos(x) } }{1 + \cos(x) } = \frac{ \sin(x) }{ {1 + \cos(x) } } [/tex]

The denominator should be square root so to let you know .

So know we ahev

[tex] \frac{ \sqrt{1 - \cos {}^{2} (x) } }{1 + \cos(x) } = \frac{ \sin(x) }{1 + \cos(x) } [/tex]

[tex] \frac{ \sqrt{ \sin {}^{2} (x) } }{1 + \cos(x) } = \frac{ \sin(x) }{ {1 + \cos(x) } } [/tex]

[tex] \frac{ \sin(x) }{1 + \cos(x) } = \frac{ \sin(x) ) }{1 + \cos(x) } [/tex]
