sec + tan = cos /(1 + sin)

sec and tan are defined so cos is non-zero.

1/cos + sin/cos = cos/(1 + sin)

(1 + sin)/cos = cos/(1 + sin)

cross-multiplying, (1 + sin)2 = cos2

(1 + sin)2 = 1 - sin2

1 + 2sin + sin2 = 1 - sin2

2sin2 + 2sin = 0

sin2 + sin = 0

sin(sin + 1) = 0

so sin = 0 or sin = -1

But sin = -1 implies that cos = 0 and cos is non-zero.

Therefore sin = 0 or the solutions are k*pi radians where k is an integer.

What is the solution to cos tan-sin over cot equals 0?

either cos OR tan-sin equals zero socos=0 at pi/2 and 3pi/2ortan=sin which is impossibleim not sure though


Cos x equals -cos x plus 1?

No, but cos(-x) = cos(x), because the cosine function is an even function.


Sin 15 plus cos 105 equals?

Need help with working this Trig problem out. A sin alpha plus cos alpha equals 1 B sin alpha - cos alpha equals 1 Solution is AB equals 1?

A*sin(x) + cos(x) = 1B*sin(x) - cos(x) = 1Add the two equations: A*sin(x) + B*sin(x) = 2(A+B)*sin(x) = 2sin(x) = 2/(A+B)x = arcsin{2/(A+B)}That is the main solution. There may be others: depending on the range for x.

Verify that sin minus cos plus 1 divided by sin plus cos subtract 1 equals sin plus 1 divided by cos?

[sin - cos + 1]/[sin + cos - 1] = [sin + 1]/cosiff [sin - cos + 1]*cos = [sin + 1]*[sin + cos - 1]iff sin*cos - cos^2 + cos = sin^2 + sin*cos - sin + sin + cos - 1iff -cos^2 = sin^2 - 11 = sin^2 + cos^2, which is true,
