Find a numerical value of one trigonometry function of x. (1+tanx)/(1+cotx)=2

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

1. convert all the trigo functions into sines and cosines first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then...

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Looks like this is not working...

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Okay let t be tan(x) then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I,m sorry I don't really understand how to solve it.

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

\[\begin{array}{rclr} \frac{1+t}{1+\frac1t}&=&2&t\ne-1\\ 1+t&=&2(1+\frac1t)&t\ne-1\\ 1+t&=&2+\frac2t&t\ne-1\\ t+t^2&=&2t+2&t\ne-1\\ t^2-t-2&=&0&t\ne-1\\ (t-2)(t+1)&=&0&t\ne-1\\ t-2=0&or&t+1=0&t\ne-1\\ t=2&or&t=-1(rej.)&t\ne-1\\ t&=&2 \end{array}\]

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Tell me if there's any step you don't understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it ; )

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Yay :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you see the attachment I just uploaded?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

yes

Another Q. Verify that each equation is an I identity. \[\sin(A+\pi)=-sinA\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take \[ x=\tan^{-1}(2) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \tan ^{-1}(2.)=1.10715 \]

Thank you ; )
