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)

Cos plus tansin equals sec?

Start on the left-hand side. cos(x) + tan(x)sin(x) Put tan(x) in terms of sin(x) and cos(x). cos(x) + [sin(x)/cos(x)]sin(x) Multiply. cos(x) + sin2(x)/cos(x) Make the denominators equal. cos2(x)/cos(x) + sin2(x)/cos(x) Add. [cos2(x) + sin2(x)]/cos(x) Use the Pythagorean Theorem to simplify. 1/cos(x) Since 1/cos(x) is the same as sec(x)- the right-hand side- the proof is complete.


1 over cos x equals what?

sec(x)=1/cos(x), by definition of secant.


Should we find cos theta if sec theta equals -10?

No.


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


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 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.


What is sec x cos x?

sec x = 1/cos x sec x cos x = [1/cos x] [cos x] = 1


What is the population of Tansin?

The population of Tansin is 646.


How do you find sec x cos x?

sec x = 1/cos x so sec x * cos x = 1


What is the reciprocal function of sec A?

The answer is cos A . cos A = 1/ (sec A)


What is sec theta - 1 over sec theta?

Let 'theta' = A [as 'A' is easier to type] sec A - 1/(sec A) = 1/(cos A) - cos A = (1 - cos^2 A)/(cos A) = (sin^2 A)/(cos A) = (tan A)*(sin A) Then you can swap back the 'A' with theta


Find the principal solution of sec x equals 2?

sec(x) = 2 so cos(x) = 1/2 and so x = pi/3
