Can seem to remember how to prove the following identity
tanx sinx
----------- = ---------------
1 + tanx sin x + cosx
I can get
sinx
---------
cosx
---------------
cosx + sinx
-------------
cosx
but cannot get any further.

Yeah, just had to multiply above and below by cos x and we would have had it.
Wish I could ask my dad for help. He went as far as calculus 2 in college but never really had to use it, so he forgot most of it. What a pity...
A logarithm is just a misspelled algorithm.

Thanks to all.
I keep asking him if he needs any help ... did not actually think he would take me up on it....
It really makes me feel old.

My dad teaches maths in a secondary school (in the UK) yet he knows nothing about mathematics!!!
A lot of state school teachers in the UK are basically baby sitters.

I think it sometimes goes like this:
"Mary, our very talented mathematics teacher, has retired ... who can take over her classes?"
"Ummm ... Sam has the lightest workload"
"Congratulations Sam, you now teach Mathematics"
