Hi everyone
Prove algebraically:
1+sin2x=(sinx+cosx)^2
Work Done
I tried expanding the left side with the double angle identity for sine2x
so: 1+2sinxcosx=(sinx+cosx)^2
it looked closer but still not proved.
I have been trying to get the right side out of brackets but don't know
how. I don't think you can go sin²x+cos²x, because it doesn't
equal the same thing.
so I'm lost.help!
