In a right triangle, where the angle "x" is adjacent to the hypotenuse, the tangent of that angle would be the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side (not the hypotenuse).
For instance, consider a right triangle with the following side lengths:
A = 3
B = 4
C = 5
B is the hypotenuse. The tangent of the angle between sides A and C would be B/A, or 4/3. The tangent of the angle between sides B and C would be B/A, or 3/4.
This is often taught with the memorisation acronym "SOHCAHTOA":
(S)ine = (O)pposite / (H)ypotenuse
(C)osine = (A)djacent / (H)ypotenuse
(T)angent = (O)pposite / (A)djacent

What is cos x tan x simlpified?
The definition of tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x). By this property, cos(x)tan(x) = sin(x).
If for a triangle abc tan a-b plus tan b-c plus tan c-a equals 0 then what can you say about the triangle?
tan (A-B) + tan (B-C) + tan (C-A)=0 tan (A-B) + tan (B-C) - tan (A-C)=0 tan (A-B) + tan (B-C) = tan (A-C) (A-B) + (B-C) = A-C So we can solve tan (A-B) + tan (B-C) = tan (A-C) by first solving tan x + tan y = tan (x+y) and then substituting x = A-B and y = B-C. tan (x+y) = (tan x + tan y)/(1 - tan x tan y) So tan x + tan y = (tan x + tan y)/(1 - tan x tan y) (tan x + tan y)tan x tan y = 0 So, tan x = 0 or tan y = 0 or tan x = - tan y tan(A-B) = 0 or tan(B-C) = 0 or tan(A-B) = - tan(B-C) tan(A-B) = 0 or tan(B-C) = 0 or tan(A-B) = tan(C-B) A, B and C are all angles of a triangle, so are all in the range (0, pi). So A-B and B-C are in the range (- pi, pi). At this point I sketched a graph of y = tan x (- pi < x < pi) By inspection I can see that: A-B = 0 or B-C = 0 or A-B = C-B or A-B = C-B +/- pi A = B or B = C or A = C or A = C +/- pi But A and C are both in the range (0, pi) so A = C +/- pi has no solution So A = B or B = C or A = C A triangle ABC has the property that tan (A-B) + tan (B-C) + tan (C-A)=0 if and only if it is isosceles (or equilateral).
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
What is dydx of sincostanx?
If y = sin(cos(tan(x))) Using the chain rule: (f(g(x)))' = f'(g(x)).g'(x) Then dy/dx = cos(cos(tan(x))).-sin(tan(x)).sec2(x) = -cos(cos(tan(x))).sin(tan(x)).sec2(x) Unfortunately I don't think this can be simplified much more. ( sec = 1/cos )

What is the answer to y equals 2 tan 2x?
y = 2*tan(2x) is an equation in two variable. There can be no answer. While x can be made the subject of the formula, that is not an *answer*.
Sec x times sin x divided by tan x?
1 (sec x)(sin x /tan x = (1/cos x)(sin x)/tan x = (sin x/cos x)/tan x) = tan x/tan x = 1
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.
Which expression has the same value as tan(-x) for all values for x?
tan(-x) = -tan(x)
How can arccot of tanx be simplified?
There is not much that can be done by way of simplification. Suppose arccot(y) = tan(x) then y = cot[tan(x)] = 1/tan(tan(x)) Now cot is NOT the inverse of tan, but its reciprocal. So the expression in the first of above equation cannot be simplified further. Similarly tan[tan(x)] is NOT tan(x)*tan(x) = tan2(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)
What does cos divided by sin equal?
tan x
What is tan x csc x?
tan(x)*csc(x) = sec(x)
What is cos x tan x simlpified?
The definition of tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x). By this property, cos(x)tan(x) = sin(x).
