Question

How do I simplify: (1/cosx)-(1/sinx)

Answer 1

***corredction (1/sinx)/(1/cosx)

Answer 2

Equation:
\[\frac{1}{sinx}/\frac{1}{cosx}\]
Right?

Answer 3

@emilyhealy4?

Answer 4

when you divide by a fraction to rule is to flip the 2nd fraction and multiply so you get

\[\frac{1}{\sin(x)} \times \frac{\cos(x)}{1} = \]

and you'll find this is also a trig ratio

Answer 5

Assuming it is:
Turn the division sigh to a multiplication sign by flipping the numbers:
\[\frac{1}{sinx}/\frac{1}{cosx}\]\[=\frac{1}{sinx}*\frac{cosx}{1}\]
Simplify:
\[\frac{cosx}{sinx}\]
Cut the \(x\)
\[\frac{cos}{sin}\]

Answer 6

That is, if you want to cut the \(x\)
