1 - cos x as x approaches 0.

what is the cos of 0? It is 1.

So as x approaches 0 cos x approaches 1.

1 - 1 = 0

So as it gets very small the solutions gets smaller.

What is cos-1 3?

The cosine function has an absolute value that cannot exceed 1. Therefore the is no angle x such that cos(x) = 3. That is, there is no angle x such that x = cos^-1(3).


If cos x equals 1 what is the value of sec x?

Secant x= 1/cosx So if cos x=1 ,we know that x=0 degrees ( or radians), so secant x is 1/cos (0)=1/1=1


What is the derivative of ln cos x?

The derivative of the natural log is 1/x, therefore the derivative is 1/cos(x). However, since the value of cos(x) is submitted within the natural log we must use the chain rule. Then, we multiply 1/cos(x) by the derivative of cos(x). We get the answer: -sin(x)/cos(x) which can be simplified into -tan(x).

How do you prove that (1 plus cotx)2-2cotx 1(1-cos)(1 plus cos)?

Manipulate normally, noting:cot x = cos x / sin xcos² x + sin² x = 1 → sin²x = 1 - cos² xa² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)1 = 1²ab = baa/(bc) = a/b/c(1 + cot x)² - 2 cot x = 1² + 2 cot x + cot² x - 2 cot x= 1 + cot² x= 1 + (cos x / sin x)²= 1 + cos² x / sin² x= 1 + cos² x / (1 - cos² x)= ((1 - cos² x) + cos² x)/(1 - cos² x)= 1/(1² - cos² x)= 1/((1 + cos x)(1 - cos x))= 1/(1 - cos x)/(1 + cos x)QED.


Given that Sin x equals 0.8 and x is acute write down the value of Cos x?

cos2x = 1 - sin2x = 1 - 0.64 = 0.36 So cos x = +/- 0.6 Since x is acute, cos x is +ve, so cos x = 0.6

How do you solve sinx divided by 1 plus cosx plus cosx divided by sinx?

sin x/(1+cos x) + cos x / sin x Multiply by sin x (1+cos x) =[(sin^2 x + cos x(1+cos x) ] / sin x (1+cos x) = [(sin^2 x + cos x + cos^2 x) ] / sin x (1+cos x) sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1 = (1+cos x) / sin x (1+cos x) = 1/sin x


What does cosx divided by 1-sinx equal?

cos x / (1-sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin x) (1 + sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin2x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / cos2 x = (1 + sin x) / cos x = sec x + tan xcos x / (1-sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin x) (1 + sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin2x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / cos2 x = (1 + sin x) / cos x = sec x + tan xcos x / (1-sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin x) (1 + sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin2x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / cos2 x = (1 + sin x) / cos x = sec x + tan xcos x / (1-sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin x) (1 + sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin2x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / cos2 x = (1 + sin x) / cos x = sec x + tan x


How does sin2x divided by 1-cosx equal 1 plus cosx?

sin2x / (1-cos x) = (1-cos2x) / (1-cos x) = (1-cos x)(1+cos x) / (1-cos x) = (1+cos x) sin2x=1-cos2x as sin2x+cos2x=1 1-cos2x = (1-cos x)(1+cos x) as a2-b2=(a-b)(a+b)
