Prove that the following identity is true.
tan x
sin? x + sin x cos x
sin x
coS X
cos x - 2 cos3
COS X
We begin on the right side of the equation by factoring the numerator and denominator. We can then use a Pythagorean Identity in the denominator and reduce. We can
then use the ratio identity, and then factor the denominator. Finally we simplify by reducing the common factor.
sin x(sin x + cos x)
sin? x + sin x cos x
(1-
cos² (x)
cos x - 2 cos x
Cos
