Need help proving some trig identities
I think I got it now. For number 2, I separated the two fractions from the left side of the initial equation and got this: (sinx)/(1) - (sinx)/(cosx) + (sinx)/(1) +(sinx)/(cosx) = then I combined similar terms and got this: (sinx)/(1) + (sinx)/(1) = now I flipped the fractions and got this...- Confusedbrah

Need help proving some trig identities
Hmmm I kinda see what you're saying. I started all over with the first one and this is what I got, can anyone check if I did it correctly? It proves to be correct, at least to me. 1 + (1/cos^(2)x)(sin^(2))x) = I then multiplied the two fractions, giving me: 1 + (sin^(2)x)/(cos^(2)x) = now...- Confusedbrah

Need help proving some trig identities
Proving identities is a pain! Thanks in advance, guys! Homework Statement 1. 1 + sec^(2)xsin^(2)x = sec^(2)x 2. sinx/1-cosx + sinx/1+cosx = 2cscxHomework Equations The Attempt at a Solution For the first problem, this is the best I got: 1 + sec^(2)x(1-cos(2)x) For the second problem, I...- Confusedbrah
