We'll replace 1 from denominator of the fraction by
Pythagorean identity:
(sin x)^2 + (cos x)^2 =
1
The denominator will
become:
(sin x)^2 + (cos x)^2 + (cos x)^2 - (sin x)^2 = 2
(cos x)^2
We'll re-write the
fraction:
2sin x*cos x/2 (cos x)^2 = sin x/cos
x
But the fraction sin x/cos x represents the tangent
function.
Since the LHS = RHS, then the given
identity tan x = 2 sinx*cos x/[1 + (cos x)^2 - (sin x)^2] is
true.
