Ya, I see my mistake and understand how to correct it now. I had forgotten that you can't just cancel them out because like you said, I can't justify it. I have been working on these problems for the past 3 days now and I'm finally getting the hang of it. Thank you soooooo much for your help...
Ah, yes your right, I wasn't paying attention to that. Sorry, I don't mean to waste your time, I'll try to get this over with. i think I might have it this time.
sin^2(A) + 1/sinA is adding so I have to get a common denominator. So, I take the denom. of each term and multiply each by the...
I think so. So it would be:
(sin^2 A)(cos^2 A)/cos^2 A + 1/sin A then cancel out the cos terms correct?
so sin^2 A/sin A would be the next step, which I think simplifies to just sin A.
Is this right?
Sorry, I guess that the post messed up what the problem looked like. I'm supposed to simplify them, but I really don't get what to do with tan^2 and how to change everything so that I can simplify. This one is what I mean:
(tan^2 A)(1/sec^2 A) + 1/sin A...
Ok guys, here's my problem. I left on vacation with my parents before I learned how to do these correctly. I have been trying and I sort of have the gist of them down. For instance, tan A*sec A simplified is sin A. A=theta. But as I move on they stop making sense, and this is where my problem...
