"Show that if 0 < x < pi/4, then sin(2x) > 2sin^2(x). Justify your working."

where would i start with this question? i'm so confused, thanks in advance

+ also how to solve lagrida_latex_editor.png?? i know one of the solutions is pi/4 + kpi, but i don't know how to get the other solution (answers say it's 5pi/2 + kpi, which to me makes no sense?)

Observe cos(x)>sin(x) for 0 < x < pi/4.

Try visualising tan x using the unit circle definition

[pi/4, pi/2) union [5pi/4, 3pi/2)

Simple play


Now we use something called the auxiliary angle for






Here, we see that

considering the domain for the trig values it will be clear that it is greater than 0 so therefore,

It should be less than but greater than or equal to . The other solution is because when the result is undefined or infinity so therefore, the value has to be smaller than and the comes from the fact the tan function repeats every cycle.
