1 + cos(x) = sin(x)
==> You need to find an angle whose sine is 1 greater than its cosine.
The numerical values of both the sine and cosine functions range from -1 to +1.
No angle has a sin or cosine less than -1 or greater than +1. That'll help us put
some constraints on the equation, and see what may be going on.
The equation also says: sin(x) - cos(x) = 1
This would be a great place to flash a sketch of the graphs of the sin(x) and cos(x)
functions up on the screen, and see where they differ by roughly 1, with the sine
being the greater one. It's too bad that we can't do that. The best we can do is to
draw them on our scratch pad here, look at them, and tell you what we see:
-- The sine is greater than the cosine only between 45° and 225°,
so any solutions must be in that range of angles.
-- At 90°, the sine is 1 and the cosine is zero, so we have [ 1 + 0 = 1 ], and 90° definitely works.
-- At 180°, the sine is zero and the cosine is -1, we have [ 1 + -1 = 0 ], and 180° works.
-- If there were any range between 45° and 225° where the graphs of the sine
and cosine functions were parallel curves, then any angle in that range might
also be a solution.
But there isn't any such place. 90° and 180° are the only points where the values
are different by 1 and the sine is greater, so those are the only principle solutions
(answers between zero and 360°.)

How do you solve csc x-sin x equals cos x cot x?
cscx-sinx=(cosx)(cotx) 1/sinx-sinx=(cosx)(cosx/sinx) (1/sinx)-(sin^2x/sinx)=cos^2x/sinx cos^2x/sinx=cos^2x/sinx Therefore LS=RS You have to remember some trig identities when answering these questions. In this case, you need to recall that sin^2x+cos^2x=1. Also, always switch tanx cotx cscx secx in terms of sinx and cosx.

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

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
Sinx plus cosx equals 0?

Can you Show 1 over sinx cosx - cosx over sinx equals tanx?
From the Pythagorean identity, sin2x = 1-cos2x. LHS = 1/(sinx cosx) - cosx/sinx LHS = 1/(sinx cosx) - (cosx/sinx)(cosx/cosx) LHS = 1/(sinx cosx) - cos2x/(sinx cosx) LHS = (1- cos2x)/(sinx cosx) LHS = sin2x /(sinx cosx) [from Pythagorean identity] LHS = sin2x /(sinx cosx) LHS = sinx/cosx LHS = tanx [by definition] RHS = tanx LHS = RHS and so the identity is proven. Q.E.D.
How do you simplify cosx plus sinx tanx?
to simplify Cosx=Sinx Tanx you should remember your fundamental and pythagorean identities.. Cosx + Sinx Tanx Cosx + Sinx (Sinx/Cosx) <---------- From Tanx= Sinx/Cosx Cosx + Sin2x/ Cos x <------------- do the LCD Cosx (Cosx/Cosx) + Sin2x/Cosx (Cos2x+Sin2x)/Cosx 1/Cosx <--------- From Sin2x + Cos2x =1 or Secx <-------- answer Comment if you have questions...:))

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.
How do you solve csc x-sin x equals cos x cot x?
cscx-sinx=(cosx)(cotx) 1/sinx-sinx=(cosx)(cosx/sinx) (1/sinx)-(sin^2x/sinx)=cos^2x/sinx cos^2x/sinx=cos^2x/sinx Therefore LS=RS You have to remember some trig identities when answering these questions. In this case, you need to recall that sin^2x+cos^2x=1. Also, always switch tanx cotx cscx secx in terms of sinx and cosx.
How does secx plus 1 divided by cotx equal 1 plus sinx divided by cosx?
secx = 1/cosxand 1/cotx = tanx, therefore1/cosx + tanx = 1 + sinx/cosx, andsin/cos = tanx, therefore1/cosx + tanx = 1 + tanx, therefore1/cosx = 1, therfore1 = cosx.So, therfore, it is not neccesarily true.But if you meansecx plus 1 divided by cotx equals (1 plus sinx) divided by cosx(this is probably what you mean) Let's start over!secx = 1/cosxand 1/cotx = tanx, therefore1/cosx + tanx = (1+sinx)/cosx therefore1/cosx + tanx = 1/cosx + sinx/cosxsinx/cosx = tanx therfore1/cosx + tanx = 1/cosx + tanxDo you think this is correct? Subtract both sides by 1/cosx + tanx:0 = 0So, therefore, this is correct!(BTW, I'm in Grade 6! :P)
How do you prove the following equation the quantity of sin theta divided by 1 minus cos theta minus the quantity 1 plus cos theta divided by sin theta equals 0?
You will have to bear with the angle being represented by x because this browser will not allow characters from other alphabets!sin^2x + cos^2x = 1=> sin^2x = 1 - cos^x = (1 + cosx)(1 - cosx)Divide both sides by sinx (assuming that sinx is not zero).=> sinx = (1 + cosx)(1 - cosx)/sinxDivide both sides by (1 - cosx)=> sinx/(1 - cosx) = (1 + cosx)/sinx=> sinx/(1 - cosx) - (1 + cosx)/sinx = 0
