Math Problem Statement

(2sin(x)/1)(sin(x)/cos(x))

Solution

To simplify the expression 2sin(x)1sin(x)cos(x)\frac{2 \sin(x)}{1} \cdot \frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}, let’s go through each part step by step:

  1. Simplify the first part: 2sin(x)1\frac{2 \sin(x)}{1} is simply 2sin(x)2 \sin(x).

  2. Substitute the expression, so we have: 2sin(x)sin(x)cos(x)2 \sin(x) \cdot \frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}

  3. Combine terms by multiplying: 2sin(x)sin(x)cos(x)=2sin2(x)cos(x)\frac{2 \sin(x) \cdot \sin(x)}{\cos(x)} = \frac{2 \sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)}

  4. Now, recall that sin2(x)\sin^2(x) can be written in terms of tan(x)\tan(x) because sin2(x)cos(x)=sin(x)tan(x)\frac{\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)} = \sin(x) \cdot \tan(x).

  5. This gives us the simplified expression: 2sin(x)tan(x)2 \sin(x) \tan(x)

So, the simplified form is: 2sin(x)tan(x)2 \sin(x) \tan(x)

  1. How can we further simplify expressions using trigonometric identities?
  2. What are some common uses of the identity sin2(x)+cos2(x)=1\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) = 1?
  3. How does the identity tan(x)=sin(x)cos(x)\tan(x) = \frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} assist in simplifying expressions?
  4. What are other equivalent forms of sin(x)tan(x)\sin(x) \tan(x)?
  5. How can we verify that two trigonometric expressions are equal?

Tip: Remember, using trigonometric identities can simplify complex expressions quickly, making it easier to work with equations involving trig functions.
