Simplify.
sin x sec x
Use algebra and the fundamental trigonometric identities.
Your answer should be a number or use a single trigonometric function.
We can also use identities such as the following fundamental trigonometric identities.
Reciprocal identities:
1 1 1
sin u = cos u = tan u =
csc u sec u cot u
1 1 1
csc u = sec u = cot u =
sin u cos u tan u
Quotient identities:
sin u cos u
tan u = cot u =
cos u sin u
Pythagorean identities:
sin 2 u + cos 2 u = 1
2 2
tan u + 1 = sec u
cot 2 u + 1 = csc 2 u
1
sin x sec x = sin x Using a reciprocal identity
