# Interesting Sum

$\large { \left( \tan { x } \right) }^{ 2 }={ \left( \sin { x } \right) }^{ 2 }{ +\left( \sin { x } \right) }^{ 4 }+{ \left( \sin { x } \right) }^{ 6 }+{ \left( \sin { x } \right) }^{ 8 }+\cdots$

Prove the trigonometric identity above.

The sum of an infinite GP can only be calculated when $$-1<r<1$$. However $$\sin^2x$$ can be equal to 1. Can you justify? · 1 year, 4 months ago

It should be specified that $$|\sin x|<1$$ · 1 year, 4 months ago

Well it is already in the range! · 1 year, 4 months ago

100% vella! Just like @Mehul Arora · 1 year, 4 months ago

Haha, I actually copy pasted the latex from some other note :P

It is related to Andrew's recent problem :3 · 1 year, 4 months ago

wow it looks like a pyramid. How long did you take to type and count so many boxes :)? · 1 year, 6 months ago
