Answer:

Yes they are. “X” is basically 1x becuase if you multiply 1 by x its still x. So they are like terms, if you combine them you’ll get 6x becuase 5x+x=6x

Is 0.062 equal to .062

Alona [7]

yes. The zero to the left of the decimal point does not affect the overall value of the problem when removed, since it is zero.

Hello! Verify the identity. Please show your work! Use trigonometric identities to verify each expression is equal.

RSB [31]

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to verify the identity:

$\displaystyle \csc^2 x -2\csc x \cot x +\cot ^2 x = \tan^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)$

Note that the left-hand side is a perfect square trinomial pattern. Namely:

$a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2$

If we let a = csc(x) and b = cot(x), we can factor it as such:

$\displaystyle (\csc x - \cot x)^2 = \tan^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)$

Let csc(x) = 1 / sin(x) and cot(x) = cos(x) / sin(x):

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{1}{\sin x}-\frac{\cos x }{\sin x}\right)^2=\tan^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)$

Combine fractions:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{1-\cos x}{\sin x}\right)^2=\tan^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)$

Square (but do not simplify yet):

$\displaystyle \frac{(1-\cos x)^2}{\sin ^2x}=\tan^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)$

Now, we can make a substitution. Let u = x / 2. So, x = 2u. Substitute:

$\displaystyle \frac{(1-\cos 2u)^2}{\sin ^22u}=\tan^2u$

Recall that cos(2u) = 1 - sin²(u). Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{(1-(1-2\sin^2u))^2}{\sin ^2 2u}=\tan^2u$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle \frac{4\sin^4 u}{\sin ^2 2u}=\tan^2 u$

Recall that sin(2u) = 2sin(u)cos(u). Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{4\sin^4 u}{(2\sin u\cos u)^2}=\tan^2 u$

Square:

$\displaystyle \frac{4\sin^4 u}{4\sin^2 u\cos ^2u}=\tan^2 u$

Cancel:

$\displaystyle \frac{\sin ^2 u}{\cos ^2 u}=\tan ^2 u$

Since sin(u) / cos(u) = tan(u):

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{\sin u}{\cos u}\right)^2=\tan^2u=\tan^2u$

We can substitute u back for x / 2:

$\displaystyle \tan^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)= \tan^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)$

Hence proven.
