    I mean... The math is pretty straight forward, but how on earth do quickly gain an overview of this? That Khan can effortlessly derive all these formulas, keeping track of which have already been derived, and how he can use them to find new ones, is amazing to me!

      How to keep track of them is not that difficult. In many textbooks that go over those identities, they are classified as double angle identities. When you are doing integration, it is much easier to convert squared sines and cosines into double angle identities. Also when you have an integrand that is difficult to integrate, geometric substitution is often the best technique to simplify the problem. Just remember that the unit circle identity and the sine and cosine formulas for the addition of two angles are the most fundamental identities from which all other identities are derived.

    This was absolutely exceptional. I love that feeling when your teachers tell you to memorise a formula without really telling you why, and then after you find out the proof you have the "ohhhh" moment.

    The brackets are being raised only to the power of one. Anything raised to the one power is itself.
    (1 - sin^2 a) - sin^2 a
    1 - sin^2 a - sin^2 a
    1 - 2sin^2 a

    @collcool0 actually anything raised to the power of zero is one. Anything raised to the power of 1 is itself. However, in this case, 1-sin^2 a is 1 because it is a trig identity.

      Here are the proofs. Khan refers to them as if you have already seen them, but the chronology must have been messed up after an update, because these videos are actually presented after the video above in the Khan curriculum. Confused me as well. I suppose this might come too late for your exams, though. Hope you figured it out.

    3) You aren't from MI are you? 3 of the 5 professors I have right now are hunters. BUT, don't you think there are a plethora of other factors influential on whether or not people hunt? Take location for example, how many universities are near hunting grounds? I could go on and on about reasons like this...
    4) How do you determine "intelligent people"? by the awards they've received? the subjects they teach? How successful they are? And I ran out of room again

    @JSnyder49428 yes, i meant two*. intelligence & empathy toward animals are correlated. i'm not saying hunters tend to be stupid. they're independent, perhaps contrarian, people. they may be smarter than the average. but very smart people tend not to be hunters. what percentage of college professors or macarthur grant winners do you think are hunters? a far less percentage than the general public, and not just cause they're too busy.

    I think the best method so far is IQ testing, and even that's debatable at best. Actually, college professors aren't unusually intelligent people, most of them are just average people who decided they like teaching.

    wouldn't you expand the brackets? why did you just drop the brackets and subtract?

    • @ScottTromley
      @ScottTromley 6 років тому +1

      The coefficient on the (1-sin^2a) brackets is 1, so distributing 1 to each of the terms gives you 1-sin^2a, which is the same as dropping the brackets. The only reason he had to expand earlier was to distribute the implied negative 1 to all the terms.
      I'm sure you know this by now, since it's been 6 years since you commented, but other people might be confused.

    1) I would like to see your source for intelligence & empathy being correlated, it's not a given, as a matter of fact, I'm a psych major right now and I'm skeptical.
    2) Empathy toward animals and hunting (against simple logic) aren't mutually exclusive. Again, I take myself for example, I hunt, and I volunteer for the ASPCA from time to time. Hunting is more about being in nature and preventing overpopulation than it is killing and shooting stuff.
