Simplify tan$theta$ cos$theta$

How do I simplify tan$theta$ cos$theta$ ?



Why is this so hard to do? What pieces of information should I know before doing these?



Can someone just tell me were am I going wrong? I have 5 days to master this before my SAT Practice.



I would brush up on 'basics' but i don't even know how this related to anything ive learnt in trig before...I literally google every identity, am i supposed to remember or somehow derive them??

    I saw your earlier posts. You are going wrong, by not concentrating on the basic definition of sine, cos and tan. If I was you, I would take a pen and paper and start by drawing triangle and learn the ratios of sin,cos and tan. It would not be called maths, if it was not tricky! :)

    @sasha That is a rough definition only true for angles from $0$ to $fracpi2$. For other corners, the $tan$ is defined via the $cos$ and $sin$ function. If you are practising for SATs, I advise you to look that definition up.

$begingroup$

Notice first that the $tan$ function is defined on $D:=Bbb Rsetminus{fracpi2+kpi,; kinBbb Z}$ and that $tantheta=frac{sintheta}{costheta}$ so



$$tanthetacostheta=sintheta,quadforallthetain D$$
and be careful the trap is to give a wrong domain.

Elementary school proof for $theta in ]0, pi/2[$:



Consider a right triangle with angles $pi/2, theta, pi/2-theta$ and edges lengths $a,b,c>0$ as in the figure below



Right triangle



Then
$$tan(theta)= frac{a}{c}, quad cos(theta) = frac{c}{b}, quad sin(theta) = frac{a}{b},$$
thus
$$tan(theta) cos(theta) = frac{a}{c}cdot frac{c}{b} = frac{a}{b} = sin(theta).$$

    $begingroup$

    There are two ways to do this.
    Here is one way:



    Saying that



    $tan(x)=o/a $ and $ cos(x)=a/h$, we get $oa/ha = o/h=sin x$ so the answer is $sin x$!

      Right triangle



      Then
      $$tan(theta)= frac{a}{c}, quad cos(theta) = frac{c}{b}, quad sin(theta) = frac{a}{b},$$
      thus
      $$tan(theta) cos(theta) = frac{a}{c}cdot frac{c}{b} = frac{a}{b} = sin(theta).$$

              There are two ways to do this.
              Here is one way:



              Saying that



              $tan(x)=o/a $ and $ cos(x)=a/h$, we get $oa/ha = o/h=sin x$ so the answer is $sin x$!

                      Ellipse (mathématiques)

                      Image
                      Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

                      Quarter-circle Tiles

                      Image
                      up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
