prove that (x/(x+1)+1):(1-3x^2/(1-x^2))=(1-x)/(1-2x)

We have to prove that
(x/(x+1)+1):(1-3x^2/(1-x^2))=(1-x)/(1-2x)


Starting with the
left hand
side


(x/(x+1)+1):(1-3x^2/(1-x^2))


=>
[(x/(x+1)+1)]/[(1-3x^2/(1-x^2))]


=>
[(x+x+1)/(x+1)]/[(1-x^2-3x^2)/(1-x^2)]


=>
[(2x+1)/(x+1)]/[(1-4x^2)/(1-x^2)]


=>
[(2x+1)/(x+1)]/[(1-2x)(1+2x)/(1-x)(1+x)]


=>
[(2x+1)(1-x)(1+x)/(x+1)(1-2x)(1+2x)]


=>
[(1-x)/(1-2x)]


which is the right hand
side


This proves that
(x/(x+1)+1):(1-3x^2/(1-x^2))=(1-x)/(1-2x)

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
