Draw a right triangle. To get a tangent of 2, the side opposite the angle might be 2, the adjacent side might be 1 (other combinations, in the ratio 2:1, are also possible). In this case, the hypothenuse is square root of 5 (Law of Pythagoras). Therefore, the cosine is 1 / square root of 5.

How do you solve 1 minus cosx divided by sinx plus sinx divided by 1 minus cosx to get 2cscx?
(1-cosx)/sinx + sinx/(1- cosx) = [(1 - cosx)*(1 - cosx) + sinx*sinx]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [1 - 2cosx + cos2x + sin2x]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [2 - 2cosx]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [2*(1-cosx)]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = 2/sinx = 2cosecx
When are y equals sin x and y equals cos x equal?
y=sinx y=cosxsinx=cosx=>sinx/cosx=1=>tanx=1=>x=45oie.. y=sin45=cos45y=1/(square root of 2)
What is the derivative of the square root of 2 raised to the power of cos x?
The derivative of 2^x is 2^x * ln2 so the derivative of 2^cosx * ln2 multiplied by d/dx of cox, which is -sinx so the derivative of the inside function is -sinx * 2^cosx *ln2. As to the final question, using the chain rule, d/dx (2^cosx)^0.5 will equal half of (2^cosx)^-0.5 * -sinx * 2^cosx * ln2
What is (1 cos x)(1- cos x)?
(1+cosx)(1-cosx)= 1 +cosx - cosx -cos^2x (where ^2 means squared) = 1-cos^2x = sin^2x (sin squared x)

Sin2x - radical 2 cosx equals 0?
Sin2x = radical 2
What is the period of y equals cosx?
The period is 2*pi radians.
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
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}
How do you solve 1 minus cosx divided by sinx plus sinx divided by 1 minus cosx to get 2cscx?
(1-cosx)/sinx + sinx/(1- cosx) = [(1 - cosx)*(1 - cosx) + sinx*sinx]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [1 - 2cosx + cos2x + sin2x]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [2 - 2cosx]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [2*(1-cosx)]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = 2/sinx = 2cosecx
What are the solutions of 2 cos squared x minus cos x equals 1?
2cos2x - cosx -1 = 0 Factor: (2cosx + 1)(cosx - 1) = 0 cosx = {-.5, 1} x = {...0, 120, 240, 360,...} degrees
When are y equals sin x and y equals cos x equal?
y=sinx y=cosxsinx=cosx=>sinx/cosx=1=>tanx=1=>x=45oie.. y=sin45=cos45y=1/(square root of 2)
What does cosx-sinx equals?
sqrt(2)*cos(x + pi/4) [with x in radians], or sqrt(2)*cos(x + 90°) [with x in degrees]
What is the derivative of the square root of 2 raised to the power of cos x?
