At the most basic level, sin(x) represents the sine of an angle x, a trigonometric function. In a right angled triangle, where one of the angles is x, sin(x) is the ratio of the lengths of the side opposite the angle x and the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle).
Soon afterwards, you learn that this measure is a characteristic of the angle x, not of the triangle, so you do not actually need a triangle! Any angle x has a sin(x) associated with it, whether it is in a triangle, in another shape or simply a free-standing angle.
Later still, you learn that sin(x) is an infinite series of the form:
sin(x) = x/1! - x3/3! + x5/5! - x7/7! + ... where
x is the angle measured in radians,
and
n! [n factorial] is n*(n-1)*(n-2)*...*3*2*1

Verify cot x-180 cot x?
cot x = (cos x) / (sin x) cos (x - 180) = cos x cos 180 + sin x sin 180 = - cos x sin (x - 180) = sin x cos 180 - cos x sin 180 = - sin x cot (x - 180) = (cos (x - 180)) / (sin (x - 180)) = (- cos x) / (- sin x) = (cos x) / (sin x) = cot x
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)
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
Sine cubed plus cosine cubed divided by sine plus cosine?
[sin(x)^3 + cos(x)^3] / [sin(x) + cos(x)]= [(sin(x) + cos(x))(sin(x)^2 - sin(x)cos(x) + cos(x)^2)] / [sin(x) + cos(x)]***Now you can cancel a "sin(x) + cos(x)" from the top and bottom of the fraction. This makes the bottom of the fraction equal to 1. I am just going to write the next step without a 1 on the bottom of the fraction (x/1=x).So now you just have:= (sin(x)^2 - sin(x)cos(x) + cos(x)^2) *I'm going to move some terms around now. ~Not doing any computation in this step.= (sin(x)^2 + cos(x)^2 - sin(x)cos(x)) *Now we know that cos(x)^2 + sin(x)^2 = 1.= 1 - sin(x)cos(x)

Is sin 2x equals 2 sin x cos x an identity?
YES!!!! Sin(2x) = Sin(x+x') Sin(x+x') = SinxCosx' + CosxSinx' I have put a 'dash' on an 'x' only to show its position in the identity. Both x & x' carry the same value. Hence SinxCosx' + CosxSinx' = Sinx Cos x + Sinx'Cosx => 2SinxCosx
Solution for tan x is equal to cos x?
if tan x = cos x then sin x / cos x = cos x => sin x = cos x cos x => sin x = cos2 x => sin x = 1 - sin2x => sin2x + sin x - 1 = 0 Using the quadratic formula => 1. sin x = 0.61803398874989484820458683436564 => x = sin-1 (0.61803398874989484820458683436564) or => 2. sin x = -1.6180339887498948482045868343656 => x = sin-1 (-1.6180339887498948482045868343656)
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
What is the formula of 2sinxcosx?
The formula for ( 2\sin(x)\cos(x) ) is equivalent to ( \sin(2x) ) using the double angle identity for sine function.
