Question

Verify the identity. 4 csc 2x = 2 csc2x tan x

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$4csc(2x) = 2csc^2(x) tan(x)$

We start with Left hand side

We know that csc(x) = 1/ sin(x)

So csc(2x) is replaced by 1/sin(2x)

$4 \frac{1}{sin(2x)}$

Also we use identity

sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x)

$4 \frac{1}{2sin(x)cos(x)}$

4 divide by 2 is 2

Now we multiply top and bottom by sin(x) because we need tan(x) in our answer

$2\frac{1*sin(x)}{sin(x)cos(x)*sin(x)}$

$2\frac{sin(x)}{sin^2(x)cos(x)}$

$2\frac{1}{sin^2(x)} \frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}$

We know that sinx/ cosx = tan(x)

Also  1/ sin(x)= csc(x)

so it becomes 2csc^2(x) tan(x) , Right hand side

Hence verified
