Because )
Two possibilities :
- you transform tan into sin/cos :
you use the unit circle
you use the formulaes cos(a-b) and sin(a-b)
- you know the formula tan(a-b)
For the part 'ii' question, i can't seem to get it to work. I think i know the rules of logs pretty well. I started by dividing both terms by eachother as there is a - sign between them. Could someone give me help on that.
Thanks in advanced.
We'll take care of the left hand side of the equation.
First of all, put every constant inside the logarithm.
![\begin{aligned} 2 \log_a \frac{x^3}{4} &=\log_a \left[\left(\frac{x^3}{4}\right)^2\right] \\<br />
&=\log_a \frac{x^6}{2^4} \end{aligned}](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?\begin{aligned} 2 \log_a \frac{x^3}{4} &=\log_a \left[\left(\frac{x^3}{4}\right)^2\right] \\<br />
&=\log_a \frac{x^6}{2^4} \end{aligned})
Now you can divide :
 \\<br />
&=\log_a (2^4 \cdot x^4) \\<br />
&=\dots \end{aligned})
