Question: t a n ( x ) = + - s i n ( x ) 1 - s i n 2 ( x ) 2

tan(x)=+-sin(x)1-sin2(x)2
The following steps should be followed to show how these identities can be visualized:
In column B, generate a series of X values from -2 to 2 in increments of 0.2(or ??20).
Either increment value will be fine.
In column C, take the tangent of the values in Column B.
In column D, perform the following calculation +sin(x)1-sin2(x)2 where x is the values in Column B.
Next, the two columns (column C and D) should be plotted on the same plot with the X values
from column B on the x -axis. Try to make the data points square for one set of data and circles
for the other, so you can see both sets of data.
Since the tangent function approaches + and - infinity, you will need to adjust the y-axis to a
maximum of 5 and a minimum of -5. Also, your graph should only present the data points, do
not connect the data points with a line. This causes the graph to get busy and puts a line in the
plot where there is actually a discontinuity.
The original equation above has a +/-sign before the Sine function. It should be seen from the
two plots that there are parts where the values on the right-hand side should be multiplied by -1
to fully meet the requirements of the identity. You should go to the rows in your data and update
the formula over this range such that the values in C and D match. Make sure when you do this,
you identify which rows you multiplied by (-1) in the text box at the top of the worksheet along
with the corresponding range of X-values.
Make sure your plot has axis labels, a title and a legend with proper names (not series 1 and 2).
To check your solution, the plots from Column C and Column D should completely overlap as
expected from the definition of an identity
t a n ( x ) = + - s i n ( x ) 1 - s i n 2 ( x ) 2
