Prove the following: sin 2x = (tan x)(1 + cos 2x)

We know that 1 + cos 2x = 2 (cos x)^2 (half angle
identity)


Also, we know that the tangent function
is:


tan x = sin x/cos x


We'll manage
the right side of the equality:


(tan x)(1 + cos 2x) = (sin x)*2 (cos
x)^2/(cos x)


We'll simpliy and we'll
get:


RHS = (tan x)(1 + cos 2x) = 2sin x*cos x =
LHS


We notice that we've get the expression from the left side,
since 2sin x*cos x = sin 2x


The given identity sin 2x
= (tan x)(1 + cos 2x) is verified.
