What is the question @mmclaughlin ?

anonymous · Answer

Prove the following identity

cwrw238 · Answer

try converting  tan x and sec x to  sin and cos

tan x = sinx / cos x  and sec x = 1/cos x

mathmath333 · Answer

this identity seems false

cwrw238 · Answer

yes  - I cant get them to equate

akashdeepdeb · Answer

If we have to prove, I don't think it *can* be false.

cwrw238 · Answer

- well i think what math means is there might be a mistake in the question

cwrw238 · Answer

sin x          cos x                                1             1
----  +                                  =     -----    +   ----
cos x                                                cos x          sin x


that  is not an identity

cwrw238 · Answer

if   you plug in x = 45 degrees  you see it doesn't hoild

akashdeepdeb · Answer

Okay, @mmclaughlin are you sure the question is right?

anonymous · Answer

not entirely, it seems like that it is not equal, but I'll just talk to my teacher on monday and see if there was some double angle, addition and subtraction, or pythagorean identitity that was overlooked
