The functions sine, cosine and tangent of an angle are sometimes referred to as the primary or basic trigonometric functions. The remaining trigonometric functions secant (sec), cosecant (csc), and cotangent (cot) are defined as the reciprocal functions of cosine, sine, and tangent, respectively. Trigonometric identities are equations involving the …

How does one verify tanx+cosx/(1+sinx)=secx? | Socratic
2018年4月8日 · 1.) tan x = (sinx cos x) 2.) plug it in: (sinx cos x) + cosx 1 +sinx 3.) both sides must have a common denominator so: (sinx)(1 + sinx) (cosx)(1 +sinx) + (cosx)(cosx) (cosx)(1 +sinx) 4.) foil the equation (distribute): sinx + sin2x cosx + cosxsinx + cos2x cosx +cosxsinx 5.) add numerators: sinx + sin2x +cos2x cosx + cosxsinx 6.) then: cos2x + sin2x = 1 1 + sinx cosx(1 + sinx) 7.) cancel out 1 ...
Cscx/cotx+tanx= cosx? - Socratic
2018年3月28日 · To prove the identity, you'll need these four, more basic identities: cscx=1/sinx cotx=cosx/sinx tanx=sinx/cosx sin^2x+cos^2x=1 To start the proof, use these identities to write everything in terms of sine and cosine.
How do you prove: Cosx + sinx tanx = secx? | Socratic
2018年3月4日 · We have: LH S = cosx + sinxtanx and RH S = secx We change the LH S: cosx + sinx ⋅ sinx cosx = cosx + sin2x cosx = sin2x +cos2x cosx = 1 cosx = secx So LH S = RH S Hence, proved.
