Learn how to solve factorization problems step by step online. Solve the trigonometric equation 1/sin(x)-cos(x)=sin(x)tan(x). Group the terms of the equation by moving the terms that have the variable x to the left side, and those that do not have it to the right side. Applying the tangent identity: \displaystyle\tan\left(\theta\right)=\frac{\sin\left(\theta\right)}{\cos\left(\theta\right)}. Multiplying the fraction by \sin\left(x\right). We need to isolate the dependent variable x, we can do that by simultaneously subtracting -\cos\left(x\right)+\frac{-\sin\left(x\right)^2}{\cos\left(x\right)} from both sides of the equation.

Main Topic: Factorization

In mathematics, factorization or factoring is the decomposition of an object (for example, a number, a polynomial, or a matrix) into a product of other objects, or factors, which when multiplied together give the original.
