If
sin(x)+cos(x)=75,
then what's the value of
1sin(x)+1cos(x)?
Meaning the value of sin(x), cos(x) (the denominator) without using the identities of trigonometry.
The function sinx+cosx could be transformed using some trigonometric identities to a single function. In fact, WolframAlpha says it is equal to √2sin(x+π4) and there also are some posts on this site about this equality. So probably in this way we could calculate x from the first equation - and once we know sinx and cosx, we can calculate 1sinx+1cosx. Is there a simpler solution (perhaps avoiding explicitly finding x)?
