Verify that each equation is an identity (1 - sin^(2)((x)/(2)))/(1+sin^(2)((x)/(2)))= (1+cosx)/(3-cosX)

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Given that we have;

$sin \left (\dfrac{x}{2} \right ) = \sqrt{\dfrac{1 - cos (x)}{2} }$

By the application of the law of indices and algebraic process of adding a and subtracting a fraction from a whole number, we have;

$\therefore \dfrac{\left ( 1 - sin^2 \left (\dfrac{x}{2} \right ) \right )}{\left ( 1 + sin^2 \left (\dfrac{x}{2} \right ) \right )} =\dfrac{\left ( \dfrac{1 + cos (x)}{2} \right)}{\left (\dfrac{3 - cos (x)}{2} \right ) } =\dfrac{\left ( 1 + cos (x))}{(3 - cos (x))}$

Step-by-step explanation:

An identity is a valid or true equation for all variable values

The given equation is presented as follows;

$\dfrac{\left ( 1 - sin^2 \left (\dfrac{x}{2} \right ) \right )}{\left ( 1 + sin^2 \left (\dfrac{x}{2} \right ) \right )} =\dfrac{\left ( 1 + cos (x))}{(3 - cos (x))}$

From trigonometric identities, we have;

$sin \left (\dfrac{x}{2} \right ) = \sqrt{\dfrac{1 - cos (x)}{2} }$

$\therefore sin^2 \left (\dfrac{x}{2} \right ) = \dfrac{1 - cos (x)}{2}$

$1 - sin^2 \left (\dfrac{x}{2} \right ) = 1 - \dfrac{1 - cos (x)}{2} = \dfrac{2 - (1 - cos (x))}{2} = \dfrac{1 + cos (x))}{2}$

$1 + sin^2 \left (\dfrac{x}{2} \right ) = 1 + \dfrac{1 - cos (x)}{2} = \dfrac{2 + 1 - cos (x))}{2} = \dfrac{3 - cos (x))}{2}$

$\therefore \dfrac{\left ( 1 - sin^2 \left (\dfrac{x}{2} \right ) \right )}{\left ( 1 + sin^2 \left (\dfrac{x}{2} \right ) \right )} =\dfrac{\left ( \dfrac{1 + cos (x)}{2} \right)}{\left (\dfrac{3 - cos (x)}{2} \right ) } =\dfrac{\left ( 1 + cos (x))}{(3 - cos (x))}$

$\therefore \dfrac{\left ( 1 - sin^2 \left (\dfrac{x}{2} \right ) \right )}{\left ( 1 + sin^2 \left (\dfrac{x}{2} \right ) \right )} =\dfrac{\left ( 1 + cos (x))}{(3 - cos (x))}$
