prove (1-cos(x))=cos(x)-1

prove

(1 - cos (x)) = cos (x) - 1

False

Solution steps

1 - cos (x) = cos (x) - 1

Show that the two sides are not equal

For

1 - cos (x) = cos (x) - 1

plug in

x = 1

1 - cos (1) = 0.45969 \dots

1 - cos (1)

Refine to a decimal form

= 0.45969 \dots

cos (1) - 1 = - 0.45969 \dots

cos (1) - 1

Refine to a decimal form

= - 0.45969 \dots

The two sides are not equal

\Rightarrow False

p ro v e cos^{2} (x) = 1 + cos (2 x)

p ro v e sec (\frac{π}{4} + x) sec (\frac{π}{4} - x) = 2 sec (2 x)

p ro v e 2 sin^{3} (x) cos (x) + 2 sin (x) cos^{3} (x) = sin (2 x)

p ro v e tan^{2} (α) (1 - sin^{2} (α)) = sin^{2} (α)

p ro v e sin (x) = tan (x) cos (x)
