Answer 1

?

Answer 2

\[\frac{2}{\cos(x)}+\frac{4}{5x-1}\]

Answer 3

are you supposed to add the fractions?

Answer 4

\[(2/\cos \theta) + (4/1-\sin \theta)\]

Answer 5

oooh

Answer 6

\[\frac{2}{\cos(x)}+\frac{4}{1-\sin(x)}=\]
\[=\frac{2(1-\sin(x))+4\cos(x)}{\cos(x)(1-\sin(x)}\] is a start

Answer 7

dont think there are any fancy trig identities here. just multiply out in the numerator

Answer 8

i got that far...but do you know how to do the rest?

Answer 9

numerator is
\[2-2\sin(x) +4\cos(x)\]
