Equals sin x divided by cos x. In a right-angled triangle it is the ratio of the two shorter sides, the one opposite the angle called x, divided by the the side closest to x.

Sin x Tan x equals Sin x?

No. Tan(x)=Sin(x)/Cos(x) Sin(x)Tan(x)=Sin2(x)/Cos(x) Cos(x)Tan(x)=Sin(x)

Prove that tan x equals tan 6x?

It is NOT equal. Try calculating tan x, and tan 6x, for a few values of "x", on your scientific calculator. Perhaps you are supposed to solve an equation, and see FOR WHAT values of "x" the two are equal?

What is the answer to cot squared x - tan squared x equals 0?

cot2x-tan2x=(cot x -tan x)(cot x + tan x) =0 so either cot x - tan x = 0 or cot x + tan x =0 1) cot x = tan x => 1 / tan x = tan x => tan2x = 1 => tan x = 1 ou tan x = -1 x = pi/4 or x = -pi /4 2) cot x + tan x =0 => 1 / tan x = -tan x => tan2x = -1 if you know about complex number then infinity is the solution to this equation, if not there's no solution in real numbers.


How do you prove sin x tan x equals cos x?

You can't. tan x = sin x/cos x So sin x tan x = sin x (sin x/cos x) = sin^2 x/cos x.


How do you prove tan x plus sin x equals 2 tan x?

This would be a real bear to prove, mainly because it's not true.


Verify the identity sinx cotx - cosx divided by tanx equals 0?

(sin(x)cot(x) - cos(x))/tan(x)(Multiply by tan(x)/tan(x))sin(x) - cos(x)tan(x)(tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x))sinx - cos(x)(sin(x)/cos(x))(cos(x) cancels out)sin(x) - sin(x)0
