How would you verify this ? cosx ______________ = sec x + tan x 1 - sin x

OpenStudy (linknissan):

expand secx and tanx

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

1 sin x _____ + _________ cos x cos x

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

1 + sin x __________ cos x

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

then what?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

on left hand side, you're seeing 1-sinx in bottom, so multiply & divide 1-sinx

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1 + sin x 1-sin x __________ x ---------- cos x 1-sin x

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

Hmm.. why did you multiply the left side with the result of the right hand side, is that possible?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i have just multiplued wat u have wid \(1\) 1-sin x ---------- = \(1\) 1-sin x

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

u have this 1 + sin x __________ cos x

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

multiply it 1,

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1 + sin x __________ x \(1\) cos x

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

is this rationalizing?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1 + sin x 1-sin x __________ x ---------- cos x 1-sin x

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

please go on

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

kindof, but there are no rationals involved here :) its all trig simplify now

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use this : \((a+b)(a-b) = a^2-b^2\)

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

I see :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1 + sin x 1-sin x __________ x ---------- cos x 1-sin x (1-sin^2x) ---------- cos x (1- sinx)

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

and then we use the phytagorean identity ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

rest is bit easy :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yeah

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

Thanks :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

u cud have solved this by taking left hand side also

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

cosx ______________ = sec x + tan x 1 - sin x take left hand side, cosx ______________ 1 - sin x

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

now multiply & divide it wid \(1\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

give it a try when free :)

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

1 + sin x / 1 + sin x ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes !

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

oh my gosh thanks :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

np :)

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

I will close this now, bye :) see you

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

seeya :)
