Question

simplify sinx/cosx + cosx/sinx

Answer 1

First, you'll need to combine both of the fractions.
Note that: \(\frac{a}{b} +\frac{b}{a}=\frac{a^2 + b^2}{ab}\)
Do you need further help?

Answer 2

Do you know if you have to leave it with sine and cosine, or can involve other trig functions such as tangent and cotangent ?

Answer 3

Because you can replace sinx/cosx with tanx. and cosx/sinx with cotx.

Answer 4

I was expecting something like \(2 \csc 2x\)...lol

Answer 5

That will also work.

Answer 6

or even cscxsecx.

Answer 7

It depends how much you have covered in your class.

Answer 8

Because i didn't really like if square roots are involved..lol

Answer 9

(sin x)/(cos x) = tan x

(cos x)/(sin x) = cot x
