What is the answer to cos square x divide by 1 minus sin x?

cos2 x /(1 - sin x)= (1 - sin2 x )/(1 - sin x)= (1 + sin x)(1 - sin x)/(1 - sin x)= 1 + sin x

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

Approximation of sin x by x?

the value of sin(x) lies between -1 to +1. the approx value of sin(x)/x = 1 when x tends to 0 & sin(x)/x = 0 when x tends to infinity.


What does cosx divided by 1-sinx equal?

What is x if sinxsinx equals 1?

If you know that "sin(x)sin(x)=1", this must mean that just sin(x)=1 or -1, since sin(x) can take any value between -1 and 1, but both must be the same in order for "1" to be the product.Now, plot a regular sin(x) curve, and find all the possible points where sin(x)= 1 or -1. These are your x values.

What are the sum and difference identities for the sine cosine and tangent functions?

Sine sum identity: sin (x + y) = (sin x)(cos y) + (cos x)(sin y)Sine difference identity: sin (x - y) = (sin x)(cos y) - (cos x)(sin y)Cosine sum identity: cos (x + y) = (cos x)(cos y) - (sin x)(sin y)Cosine difference identity: cos (x - y) = (cos x)(cos y) + (sin x)(sin y)Tangent sum identity: tan (x + y) = [(tan x) + (tan y)]/[1 - (tan x)(tan y)]Tangent difference identity: tan (x - y) = [(tan x) - (tan y)]/[1 + (tan x)(tan y)]

How do you simplify this expression... cot2x over csc2x-cscx... please note that cot2x and csc2x are really just raised to the second power?

I assume the expression is cot^2 x / ( csc^2 x - csc x) express it in terms of sin x and cos x: =(cos^2 x / sin^2 x) / (1/sin^2 x - 1/sin x) =(cos^2 x / sin^2 x) / [(1 - sin x)/sin^2 x] =cos^2 x / (1 - sin x) = (1 - sin^2 x) / (1 - sin x) = (1 + sin x)(1 - sin x) / (1 - sin x) = 1 + sin x


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 is the range of y equals -3 sin x?

sin x can have any value between -1 and 1; therefore, 3 sin x has three times this range (from -3 to 3).


How do you solve csc x sin x equals cos x cot x plus?

Suppose csc(x)*sin(x) = cos(x)*cot(x) + y then, ince csc(x) = 1/sin(x), and cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x), 1 = cos(x)*cos(x)/sin(x) + y so y = 1 - cos2(x)/sin(x) = 1 - [1 - sin2(x)]/sin(x) = [sin2(x) + sin(x) - 1]/sin(x)
