From: John Nagelson on 12 Apr 2010 13:46 Hi, I'd be grateful for some gentle help with the following bit of trig manipulation. In the context of Brocard points, it appears that.. if sin^3(x) = sin(A-x)sin(B-x)sin(C-x) and A+B+C=pi, then cot(x) = cot(A) + cot(B) + cot(C). Trying to derive the equation from the two conditions, I got horribly bogged down. What's the easiest way to do it? Best regards, John |
