Since sec x is related to both cos x and tan x by identities, start with Take reciprocals. Reciprocal identity Take the square root of each side. ± Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley 𝟏+𝒕𝒂𝒏𝟐±±±±± 𝒙 ± = 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝒙 𝟏+𝒕𝒂𝒏𝟐 𝒙 1.1-11 The sign depends on the quadrant of x. 7.1-11 Example 3 REWRITING AN EXPRESSION IN TERMS OF SINE AND COSINE Write tan θ + cot θ in terms of sin θ and cos θ, and then simplify the expression. Quotient identities Write each fraction with the LCD. Pythagorean identity Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley 1.1-12 7.1-12 Caution When working with trigonometric expressions and identities, be sure to write the argument of the function. For example, we would not write An argument such as θ is necessary. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley 1.1-13 7.1-13
