    The last one can be done by
    sec⁶x-tan⁶x
    sec⁶x-(tan²x)³
    sec⁶x-(sec²x-1)³
    sec⁶x-(sec⁶x-3sec⁴x+3sec²x-1)

    For the last one I think after the factorisation it’s simpler to add and subtract 1, leave the sec^2xtan^2x term alone and then you can quickly get the rest you need, the reason adding and subtracting one is obvious is because on the right side it means you can make the differing two terms the same with he extra one, this allowed me to solve the problem in my head very quickly without much ugly manipulation

  • @cparks1000000

    I was able to solve all them in my head. Level 8 had me stumped a bit without paper. Level 11 was also super difficult because I couldn't initially remember the identity: a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2 + ab + b^2). I do have a PhD in math though. I also noticed some simplified solutions which I'll post below.
    For level 4, tan^2 x-sin^2 x = tan^2 x sin^2 x * cos^2 x/ cos^2 x = (1-cos^2 x)tan^2 x
    For level 9, use (1 + tan x tan y)/(1-tan x tan y) = [ (cos x cos y)(1 + tan x tan y)]/[(cos x cos y)(1 - tan x tan y)] then distribute and use sum/difference identies.
    For level 10, use the complete-the-square technique: tan^4 x + tan^2 x + 1 = [ sin^4 x + 2 sin^2 x cos^2 x + cos^4 x - sin^2 x cos^2 x] / cos^4 x = [ (sin^2 x + cos^2 x) ^2 - sin^2 x cos^2 x] / cos^4 x
    For level 11, use the formula above (with a=sec^2 x and b=tan^2 x) together with completing-the-square again: sec^6 x - tan^6 x = (sec^2 x - tan^2 x)(sec^4 x + sec^2 x tan^2 x + tan^4 x) = sec^4 x - 2sec^2 x tan^2 x + tan^4 x + 3 sec^2 x tan^2 x = (sec^2 x - tan^2 x)^2 + 3 sec^2 x tan^2 x

  • @Need_a_Creative_Name
    @Need_a_Creative_Name 6 місяців тому +1

    Level 8 can be done easier by using cos^2(x)=1-sin^2(x)
    So we get
    (1-sin^2x)/sinx(1-sinx) -1
    (1-sinx)(1+sinx)/sinx(1-sinx) -1
    1+sinx/sinx -1
    cscx+1-1

    For 11 I solved it in a few steps,
    (1 + 3tan^2x * sec^2x)
    Simplify (put sec and tanx in terms of sin and cos
    (3sin^2x + cos^4x)/cos^4x
    Multiply top and bottom by cos^2x
    (3sin^2xcos^2x + cos^6x)/cos^6x
    Convert cos^6x on the top into (cos^2)^3
    cos^2x = 1-sin^2x
    you then get
    (3sin^2x(1-sin^2x) + (1-sin^2x)^3)/cos^6x
    from here expand 3sin^2x(1-sin^2x) and expand (1-sin^2x)^3 into 1- 3sin^2x + 3sin^4x - sin^6x
    you get
    (3sin^2x - 3sin^4x + 1 -3sin^2x + 3sin^4x - sin^6x)/cos^6x
    3sin^2x cancels, 3sin^4x cancels, leaving you with (1- sin^6x) / cos^6x
    also equal to 1/cos^6x - sin^6x/cos^6x
    or sec^6x - tan^6x

    The first 'identity' is not true. At Pi/2, the LHS is 1, while the right is undefined and is undefined. It is undefined for Pi/2 + n * Pi, where n is an integer; while the LHS is always defined.

    • @MrJensenMath10

      Good noticing that! When proving identities we are only proving they are equal for all values of the variable within their common domain. Which holds true for this example.

    For the 11th one when u got sex⁴x + tan²xsec²x + tan⁴x [tan²x-sec²x=1]
    U can write tan²xsec²x as -2tan²xsec²x + 3tan²xsec²x
    And then it becomes
    sec⁴x - 2tan²xsec²x +tan⁴x +3tan²xsec²x
    We can see that sec⁴x - 2tan²xsec²x +tan⁴x is a perfect square
    [sec²x - tan²x]²
    And [tan²x-sec²x=1] so it becomes [ -1]² = 1
    Therefore sex⁴x + tan²xsec²x + tan⁴x [tan²x-sec²x=1] this whole thing is just
    1-3tan²xsec²x

    The right side of #9, (1+tanx*tany)/(1-tanx*tany) is the tangent addition formula (a+b)/(1-a*b). Where one of them is 45 degrees and the other something else. It seems to come up when I'm playing with complex numbers in trig functions and change of basis. I wasn't aware of the cos(x-y)/cos(x+y) relationship.

    If you use other trig rules shouldn't they be proved also? There are values of x that clearly breaking the divide by zero rule. Should they be taken into account during the proof or just sta ted at the end of do we just assume they are part of the identity ?

  • @mathisnotforthefaintofheart
    @mathisnotforthefaintofheart 6 місяців тому

    While cross multiplication is frowned upon in proving identities, the principle of addition in equations can still be used without any loss of validity or rigor. So in example 8, the problem would have been greatly simplified if 1 got added to both sides. Making a common denominator with that minus 1 does not add anything to the proof.

      You can put the value sec²x= (1+tan²x) in LHS in then apply (a+b)³ and your steps will be reduced. I too thought the same way as you did but here I discovered that you can easily reduce the number of steps by doing this as someone has solved like this here.

      You're basically claiming that x^2/x = x is not valid because the left expression is undefined at 0 while the right one is; however, the equation dies hold at every nonzero value of x.
      Technically speaking, the right hand side of problem 1 has a removable singularity at all values given by pi/2 + k pi for any integer k. This function has a unique, continuous extension (i.e., expanding the domain). This extensions is equal to sin(x).
      More simply put, assume that the equal sign actually means "equal on the largest set of points for which both sides are defined".

    Using a³-b³=(a-b)(a²+ab+b²) substitute a = tan(x)²+1 & b = tan(x)²
    (tan(x)²+1-tan(x)²)*((tan(x)²+1)^2+(tan(x)²+1)tan(x)²+(tan(x)²)^2)
    Simplifying we get
    1*(tan(x)⁴+1+2tan(x)²+tan(x)⁴+tan(x)²+tan(x)⁴)
    Adding the terms we get 1+3tan(x)⁴+3tan(x)²-> taking 3tan(x)² common from both terms
    1+3tan(x)²[1+tan(x)²] -> 1+3tan(x)²sec(x)²

    Erm, I am a professor who has done much work in the field of hyperbolic geometry. These elementary equations simply are not up to my caliber. Why would you make a video teaching high schoolers how to do trigonometric identities when there are people who want to flaunt their knowledge?

      Maybe because it is a challenge for the aforementioned high schoolers? The vid simply isn't for you, not everything revolves around you

      The last two problems were honors level pre-calculus problems and I still found them pretty easy. Of course, I took Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and Calculus 3 so this is far below my math level.
