You need to know the trigonometric formulae for sin and cos of compound angles.

sin(x+y) = sin(x)*cos(y)+cos(x)*sin(y)

and

cos(x+y) = cos(x)*cos(y) - sin(x)*sin(y)

Using these, y = x implies that

sin(2x) = sin(x+x) = 2*sin(x)cos(x)

and

cos(2x) = cos(x+x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)

Next, the triple angle formulae are:

sin(3x) = sin(2x + x) = 3*sin(x) - 4*sin^3(x)

and

cos(3x) = 4*cos^3(x) - 3*cos(x)

Then the left hand side

= 2*[3*sin(x) - 4*sin^3(x)]/sin(x) + 2*[4*cos^3(x) - 3*cos(x)]/cos(x)

= 6 - 8*sin^2(x) + 8cos^2(x) - 6

= 8*[cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)]

= 8*cos(2x) = right hand side.

Verify that sin minus cos plus 1 divided by sin plus cos subtract 1 equals sin plus 1 divided by cos?

[sin - cos + 1]/[sin + cos - 1] = [sin + 1]/cosiff [sin - cos + 1]*cos = [sin + 1]*[sin + cos - 1]iff sin*cos - cos^2 + cos = sin^2 + sin*cos - sin + sin + cos - 1iff -cos^2 = sin^2 - 11 = sin^2 + cos^2, which is true,

How do you express sin x plus cos x divided by cos x in terms of tan x?

(sin x + cos x) / cosx = sin x / cos x + cosx / cos x = tan x + 1


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
