prove sin^2(x)=cos(2x)+2

prove

sin^{2} (x) = cos (2 x) + 2

False

Solution steps

sin^{2} (x) = cos (2 x) + 2

Show that the two sides are not equal

For

sin^{2} (x) = cos (2 x) + 2

plug in

x = 0

sin^{2} (0) = 0

sin^{2} (0)

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (0) = 0

sin (0)

sin (x)

periodicity table with

2 πn

cycle:

x 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{5 π}{6} sin (x) 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} x π \frac{7 π}{6} \frac{5 π}{4} \frac{4 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{2} \frac{5 π}{3} \frac{7 π}{4} \frac{11 π}{6} sin (x) 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2}

= 0

= 0^{2}

Simplify

= 0

cos (2 \cdot 0) + 2 = 3

cos (2 \cdot 0) + 2

Simplify

= cos (0) + 2

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (0) = 1

cos (0)

cos (x)

x 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{5 π}{6} cos (x) 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} x π \frac{7 π}{6} \frac{5 π}{4} \frac{4 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{2} \frac{5 π}{3} \frac{7 π}{4} \frac{11 π}{6} cos (x) - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2}

= 1

= 1 + 2

Simplify

= 3

The two sides are not equal

\Rightarrow False

1 + cos^{2} (x) = 2 - sin^{2} (x)

sin (\frac{3 π}{2} + 0) = - cos (0)

sin^{2} (x) = cos (2 x) - 2

\frac{tan ( θ ) cot ( θ )}{cos ( θ )} = sec (θ)

2 (cos (θ - 1))^{2} = cos^{4} (θ) - sin^{4} (θ)
