prove sin(2x)=(2sin(x))/(sec(x))

prove

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

True

Solution steps

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

Manipulating right side

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

Express with sin, cos

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

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

sec (x) = \frac{1}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{2 sin ( x )}{\frac{1}{c o s ( x )}}

Simplify

\frac{2 sin ( x )}{\frac{1}{c o s ( x )}} : 2 sin (x) cos (x)

\frac{2 sin ( x )}{\frac{1}{c o s ( x )}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b}

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

Apply rule

\frac{a}{1} = a

= 2 sin (x) cos (x)

= 2 sin (x) cos (x)

= 2 cos (x) sin (x)

Rewrite using trig identities

2 cos (x) sin (x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

= sin (2 x)

= sin (2 x)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
