There is no "exact" solution. This type of equation falls into the category of transcendental equations, which generally don't have exact solution except in special cases. The approximate solution, however, is roughly 0.739085

Does sin x tan x plus cos x equals tan x?

NO, sinxtanx=sinxsinx/cosx since tanx is sinx/cosx this is sin^2xcosx now add cosx cosx(sin^2x+1) after factoring Does this equal tanx? No, since this would require tanx to equal cosx(sin^2x+1) and it does not.

How do you prove the following identity sec x - cos x equals sin x tan x?

you need this identities to solve the problem..that is something you have to memorized sec x= 1/cosx 1-cos2x= sin2x tanx= sin x/cosx also, sin 2x= (sinx)(sinx) sec x - cosx= sin x tanx (1/cosx)-cosx= sin x tanx .. 1-cos2x / cosx=sin x tanx sin2x/ cosx= sin x tanx (sin x/cox)( sin x)= sin x tanx tanx sinx= sin x tanx

What is the exact solution to cosx equals sin2x?

Cos(x) = Sin(2x) Using angle-addition, we have Sin(a+b) = Sin(a)Cos(b) + Sin(b)Cos(a). From that, we see Sin(2x) = Sin(x)Cos(x)+Sin(x)Cos(x) = 2Sin(x)Cos(x) Cos(x) = 2Sin(x)Cos(x) If Cos(x) = 0, then the two sides are equal. This occurs at x= Pi/2 + nPi, where n is an integer and Pi is approximately 3.14. If Cos(x) doesn't equal 0, then we can divide it out. Then, 1 = 2 Sin(x) , or 1/2 = Sin(x) This occurs when x = Pi/6 or 5Pi/6, plus or minus any multiples of 2 Pi.


Cos x plus sin x equals 0?

cosx + sinx = 0 when sinx = -cosx. By dividing both sides by cosx you get: sinx/cosx = -1 tanx = -1 The values where tanx = -1 are 3pi/4, 7pi/4, etc. Those are equivalent to 135 degrees, 315 degrees, etc.


What is (1 plus cos x)(1- cos x)?

(1 - CosX)(1 + CosX) Apply FOIL Hence F: 1 x 1 = 1 O ; 1 x CosX = CosX I: -CosX X 1 = -CosX L ; -CosX X CosX = - Cos^(2)x Collect terms 1 + Cos X - CosX - Cos^(2)X = 1 - Cos^(2)X 1 - Cos^(2)X = Sin^(2) From the Trig/ Identity Sin^(2)X + Cos^(2)X = 1
