    a b= 0
    If a not equal to 0 we can divide both sides by a
    a b divided by a equals b
    0 divided by a equals 0
    Then b = 0
    Similarly assume b not equal to 0
    Then divide a b=0 by b

    1 = 1/2 + 1/2

    = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6
    = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/7 + (1/6 -1/7)

    I Need Help

    Some times partial fractions can be easily done.

    Lets get the function x^2 in terms of x+2

    x^2 = [x+2-2]^2

    = (x+2)^2 -4(x+2)+ 4

    Trig question

    Let's express the equation in terms of Sin(x)

    We have 2 Cos^2 (x) + Sin(x) =1

    We use Cos^2 (x) = 1 - Sin^2(x)

    After substituting and simplifying we get the equation

    Trig Identity

    1- cot^2 t = 1 - cos^2 t/sin^2 t

    = (sin^2 t - cos^2 t)/sin^2 t

    = - cos 2t/sin^2 t


    Note that cos^2 t - sin^2 t = cos 2t

    2sin^2 t = 1 - cos 2t
