Explanation:
We can rewrite the entire expression as
sqrt(cosx)/sqrt(sinx)√cosx√sinx
We multiply both numerator and denominator by the numerator to rationalize.
sqrt(cosx)/sqrt(sinx) * sqrt(cosx)/sqrt(cosx)√cosx√sinx⋅√cosx√cosx
cosx/sqrt(sinxcosx)cosx√sinxcosx
Add an absolute value on the
|cosx|/sqrt(sinxcosx)|cosx|√sinxcosx
Hopefully this helps!
