Full solution

Q. 1+sinxcos2x\frac{1+\sin x}{\cos^{2}x}=
  1. Apply Pythagorean Identity: Apply the Pythagorean identity sin2(x)+cos2(x)=1\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) = 1 to express sin2(x)\sin^2(x) in terms of cos2(x)\cos^2(x).\newlinesin2(x)=1cos2(x)\sin^2(x) = 1 - \cos^2(x)
  2. Rewrite Expression: Rewrite the original expression by adding and subtracting sin2(x)\sin^2(x) in the numerator.\newline(1+sinx)/(cos2(x))=(1+sinx+sin2(x)sin2(x))/(cos2(x))(1 + \sin x)/(\cos^2(x)) = (1 + \sin x + \sin^2(x) - \sin^2(x))/(\cos^2(x))
  3. Replace with Identity: Use the Pythagorean identity from step 11 to replace 1sin2(x)1 - \sin^2(x) with cos2(x)\cos^2(x). \newline1+sinx+sin2(x)sin2(x)cos2(x)=cos2(x)+sinxcos2(x)\frac{1 + \sin x + \sin^2(x) - \sin^2(x)}{\cos^2(x)} = \frac{\cos^2(x) + \sin x}{\cos^2(x)}
  4. Split Fraction: Split the fraction into two parts.\newline(cos2(x)+sinx)/(cos2(x))=cos2(x)/cos2(x)+sinx/cos2(x)(\cos^2(x) + \sin x)/(\cos^2(x)) = \cos^2(x)/\cos^2(x) + \sin x/\cos^2(x)
  5. Simplify First Part: Simplify the first part of the fraction. cos2(x)cos2(x)=1\frac{\cos^2(x)}{\cos^2(x)} = 1
  6. Recognize Trig Identity: Recognize the second part of the fraction as a trigonometric identity. sinx/cos2(x)\sin x/\cos^2(x) is the same as sinx/(cosxcosx)\sin x/(\cos x \cdot \cos x), which is tanx/cosx\tan x/\cos x.
  7. Combine Simplified Parts: Combine the simplified parts. 1+tanxcosx1 + \frac{\tan x}{\cos x}
  8. Final Simplified Form: Recognize that tanx/cosx\tan x/\cos x can be written as sinx/cos2(x)\sin x/\cos^2(x), which is already in the original expression.\newlineTherefore, the final simplified form is 1+tanx/cosx1 + \tan x/\cos x.
