Question

simplify: Cos^2x/(1+sinx)

Answer 1

using trig identities

Answer 2

replace cos^2x with 1-sin^2x

Answer 3

Then factor the numerator and reduce the fraction.

Answer 4

and then?

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

oops said too much sorry

Answer 7

?

Answer 8

@ rulnick
Let the asker do the problem

Answer 9

indeed, my apologies

Answer 10

cos^2=1-sin^2
so
cos^2/(1+sin) = (1-sin^2)/(1+sin)
but
(1-sin^2) can be factored as (1-sin)(1+sin)
which allows cancellation.

Answer 11

oh ok. i understand now. Thanks so much @rulnick !! :)

Answer 12

very welcome
