okay, so the question is
first how can you simplify sec(x) sin(x) remember that sec(x) = 1/cos(x) so what do you get?
and then let's work on the denominator and re-write it all in terms of sin and cos what is tan(x) in terms of sin and cos what is cot(x) in terms of sin and cos
and then try to simplify the denominator so multiply the fractions so that way you can add them let me know what you get (:
I'm stuck I'm at tanx * (sin^2 x + cos^2 x)/cosxsinx)
Never minddddddddddd i got it lmao
just cross simplify
I have no idea how you got that hmm but hopefully you eventually figured it out but yeah \(\dfrac{\tan(x)}{\dfrac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} + \dfrac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}} = sin^2(x)\)
I just changed tan(x) to sinx/cosx and put the division thing to multiplication then i added the denominator thing and so it turned into sinx/cosx * (sin^2 x + cos^2 x)/cosxsinx) then i cross simplified xd
if you're cross multiplying, where did you lose the equal sign?
? sinx/cosx * (sin^2 x + cos^2 x)/cosxsinx) it turns to 1/cosx * sinx^2 + cosx^2 and then turns into sinx^2
i didn't cross multiply i meant like cross simplify when multiplying
ohhh I think you mean sinx/cosx * (cosxsinx)/(sin^2 x + cos^2 x)
you have the fraction flipped wrong
uh, ok oops lol
