verify that the equation is an identity.\n\\frac{\\cos 2 x}{\\sin x}=\\cos x \\cot x-\\sin x\nto verify the identity, start with either side and transform it to look like the other side. in this example, we will start with the right side. choose the correct transformations and transform the expression in\neach step.\n\\cos x \\cot x-\\sin x=\\square\n(do not simplify.)
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Substitute cotangent identity
Recall that (\cot x=\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}). So, (\cos x\cot x-\sin x=\cos x\times\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}-\sin x).
Step2: Simplify the expression
[ \begin{align*} \cos x\times\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}-\sin x&=\frac{\cos^{2}x}{\sin x}-\sin x\ &=\frac{\cos^{2}x - \sin^{2}x}{\sin x} \end{align*} ]
Step3: Use double - angle formula
Recall the double - angle formula (\cos2x=\cos^{2}x-\sin^{2}x). So, (\frac{\cos^{2}x - \sin^{2}x}{\sin x}=\frac{\cos2x}{\sin x})
Answer:
(\frac{\cos2x}{\sin x})
