Verify:
1. 2sin^2 (2x) + cos 4x = 1
2. tan x + cot x = 2csc 2x
Explanation:
-
2sin^2 (2x) + cos 4x = 2sin^2 (2x) + (1 - 2sin^2 (2x) = 1
Reminder of trig identity:cos 2a = 1 - 2sin^2 a -
tan x + cot x = sin x/cos x + cos x/sin x =
=(sin^2 x + cos^2 x)/(sin x.cos x) = 1/(sin x.cos x) =
= 2/(sin 2x) = 2csc (2x)
