When dealing with a right angled triangle trigonometric functions can be defined by :-
cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse
sin x = opposite/hypotenuse
Therefore cos x/sin x = adj/hyp ÷ opp/hyp = adj/hyp x hyp/opp = adj/opp
The tangent of an angle is given by the formula : opposite/adjacent
The tangent of the complementary angle is therefore : adjacent/opposite
Then cos x/sin x = tan(90-x)

How do you solve 1 minus cosx divided by sinx plus sinx divided by 1 minus cosx to get 2cscx?
(1-cosx)/sinx + sinx/(1- cosx) = [(1 - cosx)*(1 - cosx) + sinx*sinx]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [1 - 2cosx + cos2x + sin2x]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [2 - 2cosx]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [2*(1-cosx)]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = 2/sinx = 2cosecx
Find the critical numbers of sinx plus cosx?
f(x)=sinx+cosx take the derivative f'(x)=cosx-sinx critical number when x=pi/4
How do you take the derivative of a trig function?
Trig functions have their own special derivatives that you will have to memorize. For instance: the derivative of sinx is cosx. The derivative of cosx is -sinx The derivative of tanx is sec2x The derivative of cscx is -cscxcotx The derivative of secx is secxtanx The derivative of cotx is -csc2x

What is the derivative of the square root of 2 raised to the power of cos x?
The derivative of 2^x is 2^x * ln2 so the derivative of 2^cosx * ln2 multiplied by d/dx of cox, which is -sinx so the derivative of the inside function is -sinx * 2^cosx *ln2. As to the final question, using the chain rule, d/dx (2^cosx)^0.5 will equal half of (2^cosx)^-0.5 * -sinx * 2^cosx * ln2
