if tanx+secx=e^x than sinx=??????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplify tanx and sec x to their respective sinx and cosx form and solve for sinx .. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(e^2x-1)/(e^2x+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[tanx=\frac{ \sin x }{ \cos x }\] and \[\sec x=\frac{ 1 }{ \cos x }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now if you insert it you get it\[\frac{ 1+\sin x }{ cosx }= e ^{x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

final answer is right but how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

square both sides \[\frac{ (1+\sin x)^{2} }{ (cos x) ^{2} }\] now \[\cos ^{2}x=1-\sin ^{2}x\] \[\frac{ (1+\sin x)^{2} }{ (1-\sin x)(1+sinx) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hasmukh When you say final answer do u mean sinx+1/cos x = e^x or (e^2x - 1) /(e^2x + 1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you will get \[\frac{ 1+sinx }{ 1-sinx }=e ^{2x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e^2x-1/e^2x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Hasmukh now i have given you sufficient hints you may try and you will ultimately learn out of it.......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or you can use compendo and dividendo to save urself from the labpur.. :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1+sinx/1−sinx=e2x wrong 1/1-sinx=e^2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u harsh314 will try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use compendo and dividendo my friend.. a/b = a+b/a-b will help you solve it instantly!! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you studying derivatives in class?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Hasmukh I'm asking you are you studying derivatives in class???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Helping my son

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, then ask him if he is studying derivatives in class?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok will ask

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok anyways we have tan x + sec x =e^x right? And we need to find sinx right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and also ask your ''Son'', if he has been studying logarithms in class?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, good. so...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he is in 11th

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually clarissa n u explain your way of reaching the answer.. I'm just curious to know how we can solve it using derivative Ihave an idea but will love to get a lil guide thrgh.. And since he is in 11th he wnt knw much abt derivatives or logs.. :P As i've been thrgh the same academic curriculum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, I'm trying to figure my way out of this. And I can surely help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will explain my method, but first let me do it myself in order to explain it to Hasmukh.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Me from Anand Gujarat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This seems like a very complex one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why complex yar lets try will get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A first step would be to turn everything into sines and cosines, and see what that gives.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like tan =sin/cos and sec=1/cos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think they want you to use a calculator here, It sounds like they want you to get an expression equal to sin(x), don't you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

replace thte tan(x) with sin(x)/cos(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the sec(x) with 1/os(x) 1/cos(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the goal is to get sin(x) = something what might the next step be?
