OpenStudy (anonymous):

answers are: A. secx B.cscx C.cotx D. cosx sinx

OpenStudy (aravindg):

\[\dfrac{\cos x}{\cos x} \times (\cos x+\tan x*\sin x)\]

Simplify now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks (:

OpenStudy (aravindg):

yw :)

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Did you get the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still working on it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait i don't get it

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Did u understand how I multiplied it? cos x/cos x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i don't get how to do this at all. I've never tokken trig

OpenStudy (aravindg):

its okay do u knw that sin^2 x+cos^2 x=1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay yea that i recognized

OpenStudy (aravindg):

(cosx + tanx sinx ) cos x Open the brackets and tell me what u get!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm cos(x)+sin^2(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im off lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it D?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Almost right its cos^2 x+sin^2 x!!

OpenStudy (aravindg):

And you know that equals to 1!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then it is D?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

I won't tell you the answer. You need to get to it.
