functions - What is cos²(x)? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
WEBYes, $\cos^2 (x)$ usually means $\cos (x) \cdot \cos (x)$. Most other information already given here is also correct: $\cos^2 x$ is probably most common as shortest. $ (\cos (x))^2$ is most clear for beginners, but not practical - it has too much brackets, that are annoying to write and obscure equations. $\cos (x)^2$ can be understood as $\cos ...
Finding the general solution of $\\cos4 \\theta = \\cos2 \\theta
WEBJan 28, 2020 — You can solve it faster using congruences: $$\cos 4\theta=\cos2\iff4\theta\equiv\pm2\theta\mod 2\pi\iff2\theta,6\theta\equiv 0\mod2\pi\iff\begin{cases}\theta\equiv 0\mod\pi,\\[1ex]\theta\equiv 0\mod\dfrac\pi 3.\end{cases}$$ Now observe the first set of solutions is contained in the first, so that …

WEBthe same diagram also gives an easy demonstration of the fact that $$ \sin 2x = 2 \sin x \cos x $$ as @Sawarnak hinted, with the help of this result, you may apply your original idea to use calculus for an easy derivation, since differentiation gives $$ 2 \cos 2x = 2(\cos^2 x - \sin^2 x) $$ it is not a bad idea to familiarize yourself with several different 'proofs' of …

How is $\\cos2\\theta = \\cos^2\\theta- \\sin^2\\theta$?
WEBMar 17, 2020 — 2. I think it is worth demonstrating the validity of the formula cos(θ + φ) = cos(θ)cos(φ) − sin(θ)sin(φ) To begin with, I would recommend to start from the fact that the composition of two rotations θ and φ is given by a rotation of θ + φ. Therefore let us consider the standard basis B = {(1, 0), (0, 1)} of R2.

Is $\\cos(x^2)$ the same as $\\cos^2(x)$? - Mathematics Stack …
WEB8. $\begingroup$$\cos^2 (x) = \cos (x)\times \cos (x)$ and $\cos (x^2) = \cos (x \times x)$ So no. But beware, the notation $\cos^ {-1} (x)$ is ambiguous. It can denote the inverse cosine function or the reciprocal of the cosine function.$\endgroup$. – Nigel Overmars. CommentedJan 27, 2014 at 11:44.
