I am trying to prove this equation: Sin 6x Cos 4x + Cos 4x sin 2x = Cos 2x tan 8x Tan 8x does anyone have any idea??

Here is the deal, no matter how many times you take the derivative of the sin graph, you never get zero b/c you get in a cycle, well, I just can't picture anything like that happening in real life b/c if you keep taking derivative, at some point of time, the graph has to be y=0 equation b/c the...

I'm in physics I and only in Trig for the first time this year (Jr in HS). I do not remember sin (2 theta) in any previous lessons. I need in help in the following problem using it. In a double-slit experiment with monochromatic light and a screen at a distance of 1.50 , the angle...

okay, so this particular equation involves me writing conjugate of either sin or cos, but hows that possible considering they both are real in the given problem? maybe i should convert sin and cos into their exponential form first? but then wt would be the conjugate of this...

Show that tan: (-pie/2,pie/2)->R is a homeomorphism where tan = sin/cos To show that f and f^-1 are cts, it seems trivial from a sketch but how do you do it? For 1-1 tan(x) = tan(y) Need to knwo x =y tan(x) = sinx.cosx = siny/cosy = tany => sixcosy = sinycosx this gets you...

I'm really having difficulty understanding how to approach problems in my physics class due to 1. never having taken physics before, and 2. having a professor that I cannot understand (english is not his native language, and he speaks very soft/fast). We're now doing tension in class, and I'm...

Consider the function f(x) = sin(1/x). (a) Find a sequence of x-values that approach 0 such that sin (1/x) = 0. [Hint: Use the fact that sin(pi) = sin(2pi) = sin(3pi) = ... = sin (npi) = 0.] (b) Find a sequence of x-values that approach 0 such that sin(1/x) = 1. [Hint: Use the fact...

just looking at another question to do with trigonometric functions and I can't see how they simplify the follwing: 2sin^2x-3sinx-2=0 to (2sinx+1)(sinx-2)=0 again i prob thinking sumthin really stupid...but i can't see wat! cheers

Hey, I’ve got a test in one week’s time and was studying through my textbook of geometry and trigonometry. I came across a “rule” which shows how to simplify expressions in the form of a \cos \theta + b \sin \theta but I do not understand how this “rule” works. The simplify rule: a \cos...

Hi there i am trying to make this equation look exact. (Cos(2y)-Sin (x)) dx-2 Tan (x) Sin (2y) dy = 0 What I've done so far is take the partial with respect to x and y. So, my M_{y} is equal to -2 Sin (2y)-0 and, my N_{x} is equal to -2(Sec^{2}(x)) Sin (2y) Which makes it...

I believe this could be the easiest math post of the day, but it's been too long for me to recall. Anyways, I'm working on the problem where I have to find 2 alternate angles. I got the first (smaller) angle right which is sin(2*theta). Now I have to find the second (bigger) angle which is...

How to prove e^ix=cos x + i sin x

Hi, how do I find the Fourier transform of this function sin x / x, i.e., f* = Integral( sin x / x * exp( i*w*x) dx from -infinity to +infinity ). I've been using Jordan's Lemma up to this point, but it doesn't seem to apply here as a way to evaluate the integral. Thanks for any help.

Okay can anyone tell me why is this true for restriction of 0 < x < 360 sin(x)=0.15, x = 8.6 and 171.4 cos(x)=-.655 x = 130 and 230 tan(x)=0.75, x = 36.9 and 216.9 I don't see a pattern or rule... please co-ordinate me through the use of graphs if you can my teacher didn't explain it well.

My batteries of my calculator playing up I cannot draw the following graph: P= 34730 + 200 000 sin x Could someone please use a graph package to draw it and possibly attach it so I can have a look at it please :-) I need to view P against x. Thanks ever so much!

Generally I am confused about the use of sin and cos in physics problems. http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/3162/eg2gu.gif The torque about the beam's attachment to the wall is: T * 8 * sin(53) Where T is the tension of the wire. Why is sin the choice and not cos? The...

Hello, could anyone help me calculate the value of x? 246.25 sin x - 676.58 cos x = -27768.42 Thank you.. James

This is just something I was thinking about the other day: Lets say that we have an object with the mass of 1kg and at t=0: x=0m and v=0m/s. Now we apply a force over time t with the force: F=sin(t)N. that means that a=sin(t). To get v we integrate and get: v = 1-cos(t). Then we integrate...

How can I calculate cos 72° and sin 72° using complex numbers, and without the use of a calculator? I noticed that 5*72° = 360° so (cos 72° + i*sin 72°)^5 = 1. But, I don't quite know how to go from there.. :shy:

This question popped up in my head. What is sin x when x tends to infinity? Since sine is a preiodic functions which repeats itself, is the answer 1, -1 or 0 or something else altogether?
