How do you solve the following identity sec x - cos x equals sin x tan x?
sec x - cos x = (sin x)(tan x) 1/cos x - cos x = Cofunction Identity, sec x = 1/cos x. (1-cos^2 x)/cos x = Subtract the fractions. (sin^2 x)/cos x = Pythagorean Identity, 1-cos^2 x = sin^2 x. sin x (sin x)/(cos x) = Factor out sin x. (sin x)(tan x) = (sin x)(tan x) Cofunction Identity, (sin x)/(cos x) = tan x.
Solution for tan x plus cot x divided by sec x csc x?
(tan x + cot x)/sec x . csc x The key to solve this question is to turn tan x, cot x, sec x, csc x into the simpler form. Remember that tan x = sin x / cos x, cot x = 1/tan x, sec x = 1/cos x, csc x = 1/sin x The solution is: [(sin x / cos x)+(cos x / sin x)] / (1/cos x . 1/sin x) [(sin x . sin x + cos x . cos x) / (sin x . cos x)] (1/sin x cos x) [(sin x . sin x + cos x . cos x) / (sin x . cos x)] (sin x . cos x) then sin x. sin x + cos x . cos x sin2x+cos2x =1 The answer is 1.
What is the simplest form for tanx divided by secx?
Need the fundamental identities here. tan(X) = sin(X)/cos(X) sec(X) = 1/cos(X) so tan(X)/sec(X) same as, sin(X)/cos(X) * cos(X)/1 cancel the cos(X) = sin(X) ---------------simplest form
How do you find sec x cos x?
sec x = 1/cos x so sec x * cos x = 1
Is cos 2 x sec x equals 2 cos x - sec x an identity?
Yes, it is. the basic identity is for a double angle relation: cos 2x = 2 cosx cos x -1 since sec x =1/cos x if we multiply both sides by sec x we get cos2xsec x = 2cosxcos x/cos x -1/cos x = 2cos x - sec x
How do you put sec cubed in a calculator?
sec x = 1/cos x → sec³ x = 1/cos³ x or sec³ x = (cos x)^-3 Therefore to enter sec³ x on a calculator: Newer, "natural" calculators: mathio: sec³ x → [x-power] [cos] [<angle>] [)] [navigate →] [(-)] [3] [=] lineio: sec³ x → [(] [cos] [)] [)] [x-power] [(-)] [3] [)] [=] Older, function acts on displayed number calculators: sec³ x → [angle] [cos] [x-power] [3] [±] [=]
How do you solve Sin x sec x equals tan x?
Cos x = 1 / Sec x so 1 / Cos x = Sec x Then Tan x = Sin x / Cos x = Sin x * (1 / Cos x) = Sin x * Sec x
Sec - cos equals tansin?
Prove that tan(x)sin(x) = sec(x)-cos(x) tan(x)sin(x) = [sin(x) / cos (x)] sin(x) = sin2(x) / cos(x) = [1-cos2(x)] / cos(x) = 1/cos(x) - cos2(x)/ cos(x) = sec(x)-cos(x) Q.E.D
How do you prove that the derivative of sec x is equal to sec x tan x?
Show that sec'x = d/dx (sec x) = sec x tan x. First, take note that sec x = 1/cos x; d sin x = cos x dx; d cos x = -sin x dx; and d log u = du/u. From the last, we have du = u d log u. Then, letting u = sec x, we have, d sec x = sec x d log sec x; and d log sec x = d log ( 1 / cos x ) = -d log cos x = d ( -cos x ) / cos x = sin x dx / cos x = tan x dx. Thence, d sec x = sec x tan x dx, and sec' x = sec x tan x, which is what we set out to show.
How do you identify sec x sin x equals tan x?
Rewrite sec x as 1/cos x. Then, sec x sin x = (1/cos x)(sin x) = sin x/cos x. By definition, this is equal to tan x.
How do you simplify sec x cot x?
sec(x)*cot(x) = (1/cos(x))*(cos(x)/sin(x)) = (1/sin(x)) = csc(x)
