The statement of the problem is equivalent to sin x = - cos x. This is true for x = 135 degrees and x = -45 degrees, and also for (135 + 180n) degrees, where n is any integer.

Cos x equals -cos x plus 1?

No, but cos(-x) = cos(x), because the cosine function is an even function.

Sin x cos x equals 0?

For the product to be zero, any of the factors must be zero, so you solve, separately, the two equations: sin x = 0 and: cos x = 0 Like many trigonometric equations, this will have an infinity of solutions, since sine and cosine are periodic functions.

What is the solution to sec plus tan equals cos over 1 plus sin?

sec + tan = cos /(1 + sin) sec and tan are defined so cos is non-zero. 1/cos + sin/cos = cos/(1 + sin) (1 + sin)/cos = cos/(1 + sin) cross-multiplying, (1 + sin)2 = cos2 (1 + sin)2 = 1 - sin2 1 + 2sin + sin2 = 1 - sin2 2sin2 + 2sin = 0 sin2 + sin = 0 sin(sin + 1) = 0 so sin = 0 or sin = -1 But sin = -1 implies that cos = 0 and cos is non-zero. Therefore sin = 0 or the solutions are k*pi radians where k is an integer.
