SUMMARY

The mathematical identity sin2r = 2sin r requires a cosigner, specifically cos r, to validate its application. This relationship is derived from the double angle formula for sine, which states that sin(2r) = 2sin(r)cos(r). The discussion humorously references the need for a "cosigner" in a financial context, paralleling the mathematical necessity of cos r in the identity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of trigonometric identities
  • Familiarity with the double angle formulas
  • Basic knowledge of sine and cosine functions

Why was the identity sin2r = 2sin r refused a loan?

**
He needed a cos r (cosigner).

Because it needs a CosR
Sin2R = 2SinR*CosR
 
I was quite hyped when I saw the name soroban since in another forum someone asked about his well-being. I was going to tell him when I noticed that soroban's post was made in 2012.
