1-sin2x Formula

To simplify the expression 1 – sin2x, we will follow the below steps:

Step 1: Let us apply the following Pythagorean trigonometric identity:

1 = sin2x + cos2

Step 2: Now, we substitute the above value of 1 in the expression 1 – sin2x. By doing so we get that

1 – sin2x = (sin2x + cos2x) – sin2x

= sin2x + cos2x – sin2x

= cos2 x

Thus, the formula of 1-sin2x is equal to cos2x .

Note that we also have that $1-\sin^2 \theta=\cos^2 \theta$ and this is obtained in a similar way as above.

Question 1: Find the value of $1-\sin^2 60^\circ$

Answer:

From the above, we get the value of $1-\sin^2 x$ which is equal to $\cos^2 x$. In this formula, we put $x=60^\circ$. So we get that

$1-\sin^2 60^\circ$

$=\cos^2 60^\circ$

$=(\dfrac{1}{2})^2$

$=1/4$ as we know that $\cos 60^\circ =1/2$.

Thus, the value of $1-\sin^2 60^\circ$ is equal to $1/4$.
