SOLUTION: (1-cos^2x) / tanx → sinx*cosx I tried with cotangent, with the 1/tanx to get cotx-cos^2x and then cotx to cosx/sinx to get cosx/sinx - cos^2 x / 1. Then multiplied by sin

Question 908861: (1-cos^2x) / tanx → sinx*cosx
I tried with cotangent, with the 1/tanx to get cotx-cos^2x and then cotx to cosx/sinx to get cosx/sinx - cos^2 x / 1. Then multiplied by sins to have alike denominators.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(1-cos^2x) / tanx → sinx*cosx
-------------------
Note:: 1- cos^2 = sin^2
------------------
Your Problem:
sin^2/(sin/cos) = sin*cos
----
sin^2*(cos/sin) = sin*cos
----
sin*cos = sin*cos
------------------------
