# chefo's Homework ## chefo's question photo Just put it here so I don't have to keep switching windows. ![](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1260838141057826837/1339646973938106431/rn_image_picker_lib_temp_9a8e03bd-b3d8-4afa-aa53-015986f6a926.jpg?ex=67af7af8&is=67ae2978&hm=17f0f46e4bfc56d8a88b5f036f1218dbbc7a1dce1f34092c45135f301218f91b&) ## Preface So, this question is actually testing you whether you remembered Trigonometric Identities, which is a key formula to solve this question. I'm not sure what kind of Maths lesson you had learnt, but I will prove it from the ground up, so that you may learn how it comes. ## Proving Trigonometric Identities So, I believe you know that famous Pythagorean theorem. As following shows: ![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SkL7Ohstye.png) :::info $$a^2 + b^2 = r^2$$ ::: And then, both side divide with $r²$, it will become: :::info $${a^2 \over r^2} + {b^2 \over r^2} = 1$$ ::: At here, we don't need to worry about which border ($a$ and/or $b$) is longer/shorter, because we got both. Since the $r$ is hypotenuse, and it got divided by both $a$ and $b$. That means, one of ==$a \over r$== or ==$b \over r$== is ==$sin\ x$==, and another one is ==$cos\ x$==. And don't forget the square, so it will shows ==$sin^2\ x$ and $cos^2\ x$==. And this is Trigonometric Identities: :::warning $$sin^2\ x + cos^2\ x = 1$$ ::: ## Back to chefo's question Let's look at the context, now we can know that $y=1$, because we just proved that what number we just got. And this means, mo matter how big or how small the $x$ is, the $y$ will always be $1$, thus this is a stright line parallel to the x-axis and passing through 1 unit of the y-axis, which is the graph H.
