So, the equation is sin(x + y)/sin(x - y) = (1 + cotxstany)/(1 + cotxtany)

The question has to to with trigonometric identities?

What are trigonometric identities?

Trigonometric identities are equations that show the relationship between the trigonometric ratios.

How to solve the equation?

Given the equation sin(x + y)/sin(x - y)

Using the trigonometric identities.

  • sin(x + y) = sinxcosy + cosxsiny and
  • sin(x - y) = sinxcosy - cosxsiny

So, sin(x + y)/sin(x - y) = (sinxcosy + cosxsiny)/(sinxcosy + cosxsiny)

Dividing the rnumerator and denominator of ight hand side by sinx, we have

sin(x + y)/sin(x - y) = (sinxcosy + cosxsiny)/sinx/(sinxcosy + cosxsiny)/sinx

sin(x + y)/sin(x - y) = (sinxcosy/sinx + cosxsiny/sinx)/(sinxcosy/sinx + cosxsiny/sinx)

= (cosy + cotxsiny)/(cosy + cotxsiny) (since cosx/sinx = cotx)

Dividing the numerator and denominator of the right hand side by cosy, we have

= (cosy + cotxsiny)/cosy/(cosy + cotxsiny)/cosy

= (cosy/cosy + cotxsiny/cosy)/(cosy/cosy + cotxsiny/cosy)

= (1 + cotxstany)/(1 + cotxtany)   [since siny/cosy = tany]

So,  sin(x + y)/sin(x - y) = (1 + cotxstany)/(1 + cotxtany)
