IDNLearn.com is the perfect place to get answers, share knowledge, and learn new things. Our platform provides prompt, accurate answers from experts ready to assist you with any question you may have.
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to demonstrate the identity ...
(1-tan⁴(A))·cos⁴(A) = 1 -2·sin²(A)
Working with the left side, we have ...
[tex](1-\tan^4(A))\cos^4(A)=1-2\sin^2(A)\\\\(1-\dfrac{\sin^4(A)}{\cos^4(A)})\cos^4(A)=1-2\sin^2(A)\qquad\text{use tangent identity}\\\\\cos^4(A)-\sin^4(A)=1-2\sin^2(A)\qquad\text{multiply it out}\\\\(\cos^2(A) +\sin^2(A))(\cos^2(A)-\sin^2(A))=1-2\sin^2(A)\qquad\text{factor}\\\\1((1-\sin^2(A))-\sin^2(A)) = 1-2\sin^2(A)\qquad\text{use $\cos^2$ identity}\\\\1-2\sin^2(A)=1-2\sin^2(A)\qquad\text{Q.E.D.}[/tex]
