Verify sin^4 x - sin^2 x = cos^4 x - cos^2 x is an identity

Mathematics
1 answer:
Citrus2011 [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(identity has been verified)

Step-by-step explanation:

Verify the following identity:

sin(x)^4 - sin(x)^2 = cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

sin(x)^2 = 1 - cos(x)^2:

sin(x)^4 - 1 - cos(x)^2 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

-(1 - cos(x)^2) = cos(x)^2 - 1:

cos(x)^2 - 1 + sin(x)^4 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

sin(x)^4 = (sin(x)^2)^2 = (1 - cos(x)^2)^2:

-1 + cos(x)^2 + (1 - cos(x)^2)^2 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

(1 - cos(x)^2)^2 = 1 - 2 cos(x)^2 + cos(x)^4:

-1 + cos(x)^2 + 1 - 2 cos(x)^2 + cos(x)^4 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

-1 + cos(x)^2 + 1 - 2 cos(x)^2 + cos(x)^4 = cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2:

cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

The left hand side and right hand side are identical:

Mr. Khans is buying staplers for his office. Each stapler costs $16.99. Write A Function to Represent this situation.
Ksenya-84 [330]
Since each stapler costs 16.99, the total cost is 16.99*x, with x representing the number of staplers bought. This works due to that he adds 16.99 for every stapler, and multiplying it adds 16.99 each time he buys a new stapler

12(6x + 10) + x = 9x + 5(1 – x) can u solve this?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

-115/69

Step-by-step explanation:

12(6x + 10) + x = 9x + 5(1 - x)

72x + 120 + x = 9x + 5 - 5x

73x + 120 = 4x + 5

69x = 5 - 120

69x = -115

x = -115/69

The altitude drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the hypotenuse into segments of lengths 4 and 12. Find the leng
fomenos
The altitude will be the geometric mean of the lengths, so
h=\sqrt{4 \cdot 12}=4\sqrt{3}.  The smaller leg is the hypotenuse of a right triangle sides 4 and 4 \sqrt{3}, so the usual trig cliche, hypotenuse 8.
