prove tan(2x)=(2sin(x)cos(x))/(2cos^2(x)-1)

prove

tan (2 x) = \frac{2 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{2 cos ^{2} ( x ) - 1}

True

Solution steps

tan (2 x) = \frac{2 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{2 cos ^{2} ( x ) - 1}

Manipulating left side

tan (2 x)

Express with sin, cos

tan (2 x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

= \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

Rewrite using trig identities

\frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

Use the Double Angle identity:

sin (2 x) = 2 sin (x) cos (x)

= \frac{2 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

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

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

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
