Let's work on the left side first. And remember that
the<u> tangent</u> is the same as <u>sin/cos</u>.

sin(a) cos(a) tan(a)

Substitute for the tangent:

[ sin(a) cos(a) ] [ sin(a)/cos(a) ]

Cancel the cos(a) from the top and bottom, and you're left with

[ sin(a) ] . . . . . [ sin(a) ] which is [ <u>sin²(a)</u> ]  That's the <u>left side</u>.

Now, work on the right side:

[ 1 - cos(a) ] [ 1 + cos(a) ]

Multiply that all out, using FOIL:

[ 1 + cos(a) - cos(a) - cos²(a) ]

= [ <u>1 - cos²(a)</u> ] That's the <u>right side</u>.

Do you remember that for any angle, sin²(b) + cos²(b) = 1  ?
Subtract cos²(b) from each side, and you have sin²(b) = 1 - cos²(b) for any angle.

So, on the <u>right side</u>, you could write [ <u>sin²(a)</u> ] .

Now look back about 9 lines, and compare that to the result we got for the <u>left side</u> .

They look quite similar. In fact, they're identical. And so the identity is proven.

Whew !

4. Use the diagram below to answer the question
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

≈ 397 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

Let h represent the height of the balloon above ground, then

h² + 50² = 400², that is

h² + 2500 = 160000 ( subtract 2500 from both sides )

h² = 157500 ( take the square root of both sides )

h ≈ 397 m ( to the nearest metre )

Someone please help!!!!!! trigonometry- trig equations!!!
Andru [333]

Answer:

1. 0, 2 π , π , 2 π/3 , 4 π/3

2. 7 π/6 , 11 π/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. we want to find the value of theta

Let us represent theta by x for ease of documentation

So we have ;

sin 2x + sin x = 0

Mathematically;

sin 2x = 2sinxcosx

So;

2 sin x cos x + sin x = 0

sin x (2 cos x + 1) = 0

sin x = 0

or

2cos x + 1 = 0

x = arc sin (0)

within the given range;

x = theta = 0 , 2 π , π

For;

2 cos x + 1 = 0

2cos x = -1

cos x = -1/2

cos x = -0.5

x = arc cos (-0.5)

x = 2 π/3 , 4 π/3

2. cos 2 x = 1 + sin x

Mathematically;

cos 2 x = 1-2 sin^2x

let sin x = y

1-2y^2 = 1 + y

y = -2y^2

1 = -2y

y = -1/2

y = -0.5

sin x = y

sin x = -0.5

x = arc sin (-0.5)

x = 7 π/6 , 11 π/6
