How did sinxcosx/cosx turn to sinx(cosx+1)?
solved
To understand how (sinx*cosx)/cosx turned into sinx(cosx+1), we can simplify the expression step by step:
1. We start with (sinx*cosx)/cosx.
2. We can simplify (cosx/cosx) as it equals 1. So the expression becomes sinx*1.
3. Multiplying sinx by 1 gives us sinx.
Therefore, (sinx*cosx)/cosx simplifies to sinx.
Now, let's look at how sinxcosx/cosx becomes sinx(cosx+1):
1. We begin with sinxcosx/cosx.
2. We can rewrite cosx/cosx as 1. Therefore, the expression becomes sinxcosx*1.
3. Multiplying sinxcosx by 1 gives us sinxcosx.
Therefore, sinxcosx/cosx simplifies to sinxcosx.
It's important to note that sinx(cosx+1) is the expanded form of sinxcosx and both expressions are equivalent.
