Verify the identity sin2(x)+cos2(x)=1.
Solution
To verify the identity sin2(x)+cos2(x)=1: 1. **Pythagorean identity:** sin2(x)+cos2(x)=1. 2. **Using the unit circle:** - On the unit circle, any point (cos(x),sin(x)) lies on the circle defined by x2+y2=1. - Therefore, cos2(x)+sin2(x)=1. 3. **Result:** The identity sin2(x)+cos2(x)=1 is verified.
