Cot(x)sec^4(x)=cot(x)+2tan(x)+tan^3(x) prove the trig identity

Mathematics

adelina 88 [10]3 years ago
7 0

Working with the right side:

cot(<em>x</em>) + 2 tan(<em>x</em>) + tan³(<em>x</em>) = cos(<em>x</em>)/sin(<em>x</em>) + 2 sin(<em>x</em>)/cos(<em>x</em>) + sin³(<em>x</em>)/cos³(<em>x</em>)

… = (cos⁴(<em>x</em>) + 2 sin²(<em>x</em>) cos²(<em>x</em>) + sin⁴(<em>x</em>)) / (sin(<em>x</em>) cos³(<em>x</em>))

Factorize the numerator as a sum of squares:

<em>a</em>⁴ + 2 <em>a</em>² <em>b</em>² + <em>b</em>⁴ = (<em>a</em>² + <em>b</em>²)²

… = (cos²(<em>x</em>) + sin²(<em>x</em>))² / (sin(<em>x</em>) cos³(<em>x</em>))

Recall that

cos²(<em>x</em>) + sin²(<em>x</em>) = 1

… = 1 / (sin(<em>x</em>) cos³(<em>x</em>))

… = 1 / (sin(<em>x</em>) cos³(<em>x</em>)) • cos(<em>x</em>)/cos(<em>x</em>)

… = cos(<em>x</em>) / (sin(<em>x</em>) cos⁴(<em>x</em>))

… = cot(<em>x</em>) sec⁴(<em>x</em>)
