(sin(x)+cos(x))/(sin(x))=1-1/(tan(x))

Solution

\frac{sin ( x ) + cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} = 1 - \frac{1}{tan ( x )}

Solution

No Solution for x \in R

Solution steps

\frac{sin ( x ) + cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} = 1 - \frac{1}{tan ( x )}

Subtract

1 - \frac{1}{tan ( x )}

from both sides

\frac{sin ( x ) + cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} - 1 + \frac{1}{tan ( x )} = 0

Simplify

\frac{sin ( x ) + cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} - 1 + \frac{1}{tan ( x )} : \frac{tan ( x ) cos ( x ) + sin ( x )}{sin ( x ) tan ( x )}

\frac{sin ( x ) + cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} - 1 + \frac{1}{tan ( x )}

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1}{1}

= \frac{sin ( x ) + cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} - \frac{1}{1} + \frac{1}{tan ( x )}

= sin (x) tan (x)

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

sin (x) tan (x)

For

\frac{sin ( x ) + cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

tan (x)

\frac{sin ( x ) + cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} = \frac{( sin ( x ) + cos ( x ) ) tan ( x )}{sin ( x ) tan ( x )}

For

\frac{1}{1} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

sin (x) tan (x)

\frac{1}{1} = \frac{1 \cdot sin ( x ) tan ( x )}{1 \cdot sin ( x ) tan ( x )} = \frac{sin ( x ) tan ( x )}{sin ( x ) tan ( x )}

For

\frac{1}{tan ( x )} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

sin (x)

\frac{1}{tan ( x )} = \frac{1 \cdot sin ( x )}{tan ( x ) sin ( x )} = \frac{sin ( x )}{sin ( x ) tan ( x )}

= \frac{( sin ( x ) + cos ( x ) ) tan ( x )}{sin ( x ) tan ( x )} - \frac{sin ( x ) tan ( x )}{sin ( x ) tan ( x )} + \frac{sin ( x )}{sin ( x ) tan ( x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{( sin ( x ) + cos ( x ) ) tan ( x ) - sin ( x ) tan ( x ) + sin ( x )}{sin ( x ) tan ( x )}

Expand

(sin (x) + cos (x)) tan (x) - sin (x) tan (x) + sin (x) : tan (x) cos (x) + sin (x)

(sin (x) + cos (x)) tan (x) - sin (x) tan (x) + sin (x)

= tan (x) (sin (x) + cos (x)) - sin (x) tan (x) + sin (x)

Expand

tan (x) (sin (x) + cos (x)) : tan (x) sin (x) + tan (x) cos (x)

tan (x) (sin (x) + cos (x))

Apply the distributive law:

a (b + c) = ab + a c

a = tan (x), b = sin (x), c = cos (x)

= tan (x) sin (x) + tan (x) cos (x)

= tan (x) sin (x) + tan (x) cos (x) - sin (x) tan (x) + sin (x)

Add similar elements:

tan (x) sin (x) - sin (x) tan (x) = 0

= tan (x) cos (x) + sin (x)

= \frac{tan ( x ) cos ( x ) + sin ( x )}{sin ( x ) tan ( x )}

\frac{tan ( x ) cos ( x ) + sin ( x )}{sin ( x ) tan ( x )} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

tan (x) cos (x) + sin (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x) + cos (x) tan (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= sin (x) + cos (x) \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Simplify

sin (x) + cos (x) \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} : 2 sin (x)

sin (x) + cos (x) \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

cos (x) \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = sin (x)

cos (x) \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Cancel the common factor:

cos (x)

= sin (x)

= sin (x) + sin (x)

Add similar elements:

sin (x) + sin (x) = 2 sin (x)

= 2 sin (x)

= 2 sin (x)

2 sin (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

2

2 sin (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 sin ( x )}{2} = \frac{0}{2}

Simplify

sin (x) = 0

sin (x) = 0

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Solve

x = 0 + 2 πn : x = 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Since the equation is undefined for:

2 πn, π + 2 πn
