Trigonometry Identity Problem?
I just can’t figure this out no matter what I do…
Favorite Answer
(sinx +sinx/cosx)/1+secx
by taking L.C.M
(sinxcosx+sinx)/1+1/cosx
sinx(cosx +1) / (cosx+1)/cosx
then (cosx+1) and(cosx+1) and cosx and cosx will get cancel
and remaining after cancelation will be sinx.
(sinx + tanx)/(1 +secx)= sinx
you can also consider
multiplying both sides by your denominator
(1 +secx) and get
sinx + tanx = sinx +sinxsecx
use the identity for secx = 1/cosx
sinx + tanx= sinx + sinx(1/cosx)
sinx + tanx= sinx + sinx/cosx
tanx=sinx/cosx
sinx + tanx= sinx + tanx
(sinx+sinx/cosx) / (1+1/cosx)=sinx
change tangent and secant to sinx/cosx and 1/cosx then the simplified form of this eq. is
(sinx cos^2x+sinx cosx) / (cos^2x +cosx)
factor out the eq. above and you’ll get
sinx cosx(cosx + 1) / cosx (1+cos)
cancel the cosx and 1+cosx and the only term that will be left is sinx
so
sinx=sinx
