Cos(x) equals zero at 90 degrees and 270 degrees. If x exceeds 360 degrees, cos(x) will equal zero at any increment of 90 + 180(n) degrees. In radians, this is equivalent to (pi/2) + pi(n) radians.

When does cosx times sinx times sinx equal 1?

at the angles 0 and 360 degrees, or 0 and 2pi


How do you find the solutions of tanx equals 2cscx?

tanx=2cscx sinx/cosx=2/sinx sin2x/cosx=2 sin2x=2cosx 1-cos2x=2cosx 0=cos2x+2cosx-1 Quadratic formula: cosx=(-2±√(2^2+4))/2 cosx=(-2±√8)/2 cosx=(-2±2√2)/2 cosx=-1±√2 cosx=approximately -2.41 or approximately 0.41. Since the range of the cosine function is [-1,1], only approx. 0.41 works. So: cosx= approx. 0.41 Need calculator now (I went as far as I could without one!) x=approx 1.148


What is the derivative of 1 divided by sinx?

y=1/sinxy'=(sinx*d/dx(1)-1*d/dx(sinx))/(sin2x)y'=(sinx*0-1(cosx))/(sin2x)y'=(-cosx)/(sin2x)y'=-(cosx/sinx)*(1/sinx)y'=-cotx*cscx


How do you solve sin squared theta plus cos theta equals sin theta plus cos squared theta?

For simplicity's sake, X represent theta. This is the original problem: sin2x+ cosX = cos2X + sinX This handy-dandy property is key for all you trig fanatics: sin2x+ cos2x = 1 With this basic property, you can figure out that sin2 x=1-cos2x and cos2x= 1-sin2x So we can change the original problem to: 1-cos2x+cosx = 1-sin2X + sinX -cos2x + cosx =-sin2x + sinX Basic logic tells you that one of two things are happening. sin2x is equal to sinx AND cos2x is equal to cosx. The only two numbers that are the same squared as they are to the first power are 1 and 0. X could equal 0, which has a cosine of 1 and a sine of 0, or it could equal pi/2, which has a cosine of 0 and a sine of 1. The other possibility whatever x (or theta) is, it's sine is equal to its cosine. This happens twice on the unit circle, once at pi/4 and once at 5pi/4. If you're solving for all possible values for x and not just a set range on the unit circle, then the final solution is: x=0+2pin x=pi/2+2pin x= pi/4 +2pin x=5pi/4+2pin (note that n is a variable)

How would you find x when 0 equals 2sinxcosx-cosx?

2sinxcosx-cosx=0 Factored : cosx(2sinx-1)=0 2 solutions: cosx=0 or sinx=.5 For cosx=0, x=90 or 270 degrees For sinx=.5, x=30 degrees x = {30, 90, 270}


Does sin x tan x plus cos x equals tan x?

NO, sinxtanx=sinxsinx/cosx since tanx is sinx/cosx this is sin^2xcosx now add cosx cosx(sin^2x+1) after factoring Does this equal tanx? No, since this would require tanx to equal cosx(sin^2x+1) and it does not.

How does secx plus 1 divided by cotx equal 1 plus sinx divided by cosx?

secx = 1/cosxand 1/cotx = tanx, therefore1/cosx + tanx = 1 + sinx/cosx, andsin/cos = tanx, therefore1/cosx + tanx = 1 + tanx, therefore1/cosx = 1, therfore1 = cosx.So, therfore, it is not neccesarily true.But if you meansecx plus 1 divided by cotx equals (1 plus sinx) divided by cosx(this is probably what you mean) Let's start over!secx = 1/cosxand 1/cotx = tanx, therefore1/cosx + tanx = (1+sinx)/cosx therefore1/cosx + tanx = 1/cosx + sinx/cosxsinx/cosx = tanx therfore1/cosx + tanx = 1/cosx + tanxDo you think this is correct? Subtract both sides by 1/cosx + tanx:0 = 0So, therefore, this is correct!(BTW, I'm in Grade 6! :P)


Does cos2x equal 2cosxsinx?

No; sin2x = 2 cosx sinx


sinx+sin2x=0?

Sinx = 0 CosX= -1/2


Cos x plus sin x equals 0?

cosx + sinx = 0 when sinx = -cosx. By dividing both sides by cosx you get: sinx/cosx = -1 tanx = -1 The values where tanx = -1 are 3pi/4, 7pi/4, etc. Those are equivalent to 135 degrees, 315 degrees, etc.

How do you simplify cosx plus sinx tanx?

to simplify Cosx=Sinx Tanx you should remember your fundamental and pythagorean identities.. Cosx + Sinx Tanx Cosx + Sinx (Sinx/Cosx) <---------- From Tanx= Sinx/Cosx Cosx + Sin2x/ Cos x <------------- do the LCD Cosx (Cosx/Cosx) + Sin2x/Cosx (Cos2x+Sin2x)/Cosx 1/Cosx <--------- From Sin2x + Cos2x =1 or Secx <-------- answer Comment if you have questions...:))
