Last minute explanations on Trig Identities.

Asked by Elumas (3170points) June 14th, 2010

I’m ready for my Math Final…. except there are several things regarding Trig Identities that just don’t process for me. I picked several sample problems from my practice packet that just don’t click. If you can help me work through them it would be greatly appreciated:

1. What needs to be changed in the last two lines to make this correct?
line one: cos2x=.5
line two: 2x={ 30º+360nº
{ 180º-30º+360nº
line three: x={ 15º+360nº
{ 75º+360nº

2. solve 2sinxcosx=cosx where x is [-π, π]

3. solve tan2θ=-1.2 where 0<θ<360

4. (1-cotθ)^2=csc^2θ-2cotθ

5. (sinθ+cosθ)/cosθ-(sinθ-cosθ)/sinθ=secθcscθ
