Algebra.Com's Answer #26355 by fractalier(6550)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! tan(x + 450) = sin(x + 450) / cos(x + 450) = sin(x + 90) / cos(x + 90) = \n" ); document.write( "[sin x cos 90 + sin 90 cos x] / [cos x cos 90 - sin x sin 90] = \n" ); document.write( "cos x / -sin x = \n" ); document.write( "- cot x \n" ); document.write( " |
