Trigonometric Proofs!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi again!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

more algebra?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright so basically what I have is half way through the equation I am very stuck. Ill send what I have so far

OpenStudy (misty1212):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the original equation is; 1+cos (u)/ sin (u)= sin (u)/ 1-cos (u)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I used the conjegate on the right side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to get it to; sin(1+cos (u))/1-cos^2

OpenStudy (misty1212):

lol what was the original question??

OpenStudy (misty1212):

oh nvm i see it

OpenStudy (misty1212):

jeez passive aggressive much?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

it's all yours dear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I think he left

OpenStudy (misty1212):

ok lets go

OpenStudy (misty1212):

oh lol you are done!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I now I have \[\frac{ \sin (u) (1+\cos (u)) }{ 1-\cos^2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

yeah right

OpenStudy (misty1212):

since \[\sin^2(x)+\cos^2(x)=1\] you know \[1-\cos^2(x)=\sin^2(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah! ahhh I always forget to check for identities oh jeez

OpenStudy (misty1212):

replace the denominator by \(\sin^2(x)\) and cancel a sine and go have a snack

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup then cancel :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you xD
