just apply the double-angle formula for tan(2x) and take the reciprocal
Answered by

okay, thank you, would that still apply if it was cot4x=1-tan^2(2x)/2tan2x? because ive got the right side for this one but the cot4x is throwing me off, how would you solve that side?
Answered by
Steve
you are exactly right
tan(4x) = 2tan2x/(1-tan^2(2x))
so, cot(4x) is the reciprocal, as needed.
tan(4x) = 2tan2x/(1-tan^2(2x))
so, cot(4x) is the reciprocal, as needed.
