Answer

Both identities are proven to be true.

Solution

Verify the identity by following steps: - step0: Verify: \(\cos^{2}\left(x\right)+\sin\left(x\right)\cos\left(x\right)\tan\left(x\right)=1\) - step1: Choose a side to work on: \(1=1\) - step2: Verify the identity: \(\textrm{true}\) Determine whether the expression \( (1 - \tan^2(\theta)) / (1 + \tan^2(\theta)) = 2 * \cos^2(\theta) - 1 \) is always true. Verify the identity by following steps: - step0: Verify: \(\frac{\left(1-\tan^{2}\left(\theta \right)\right)}{\left(1+\tan^{2}\left(\theta \right)\right)}=2\cos^{2}\left(\theta \right)-1\) - step1: Choose a side to work on: \(\cos\left(2\theta \right)=2\cos^{2}\left(\theta \right)-1\) - step2: Choose the other side to work on: \(\cos\left(2\theta \right)=\cos\left(2\theta \right)\) - step3: Verify the identity: \(\textrm{true}\) Both identities have been proven to be true: 1. For the first identity: \[ \cos^2(x) + \sin(x) \cdot \cos(x) \cdot \tan(x) = 1 \] This identity is true. 2. For the second identity: \[ \frac{1 - \tan^2(\theta)}{1 + \tan^2(\theta)} = 2 \cos^2(\theta) - 1 \] This identity is also true.

Bonus Knowledge

To dive into proving the first identity, we start with \( \tan x \) which is defined as \( \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \). Replacing \( \tan x \) in the equation yields \( \cos^2 x + \sin x \cdot \cos x \cdot \left( \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \right) = \cos^2 x + \sin^2 x = 1 \), utilizing the Pythagorean identity \( \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1 \). Moving on to the second identity, we can invoke the identity for \( \tan^2 \theta \). Replacing it as \( \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta} \) leads to the expression \( \frac{1 - \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta}}{1 + \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta}} \). By simplifying, we can transform the left side into \( \frac{\cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta} \), which reduces to \( \cos 2\theta \) based on the double angle formula. Thus, it verifies \( \cos 2\theta = 2\cos^2\theta - 1 \). Fun, right?
