Capitolo 6, Problema 5.1.43

For each expression in Column I, choose the expression from Column II that completes an identity. One or both expressions may need to be rewritten.
cos² x

II
A. sin ^2 x/cos ^2 x
B.1/(sec ^2 x)
C. sin (-x)
D. csc ^2 x-cot ^2 x + sin ^2 x
E. tan x

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Recall the Pythagorean identity in trigonometry: \(\cos^{2} x + \sin^{2} x = 1\).

From this identity, express \(\cos^{2} x\) in terms of \(\sin^{2} x\) by rearranging the equation: \(\cos^{2} x = 1 - \sin^{2} x\).

Recognize that sometimes expressions in Column II might be written differently, such as \(1 - \sin^{2} x\) or other equivalent forms.

Check if the expression in Column II matches \(1 - \sin^{2} x\) or can be rewritten to this form to complete the identity with \(\cos^{2} x\).

Confirm that rewriting expressions using fundamental identities like the Pythagorean identity helps in matching equivalent expressions and completing the identity.

The half-angle identity

tan A/2 = ± √[(1 - cosA)/(1 + cos A)]

can be used to find tan 22.5° = √(3 - 2√2), and the half-angle identity

tan A/2 = sin A/(1 + cos A)

can be used to find tan 22.5° = √2 - 1. Show that these answers are the same, without using a calculator. (Hint: If a > 0 and b > 0 and a² = b², then a = b.)
