We are given with the function (sinx)/(1 + sinx). To simplify the equation, we multiply the denominator with its conjugate. Hence the expression becomes (sinx)(1-sin x )/(1 + sinx)(1-sin x). Then we convert the expression into (sinx)(1-sin x )/ cos^2 x. Using trigonometric functions, we can then simplify the expression.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{sinx(1-sinx)}{(1+sinx)(1-sinx)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{sinx}{1+sinx}[/tex]

To simplify the denominator part we multiply 1+sinx by its conjugate

The conjugate of 1+ sinx  is 1-sinx

Multiply both top and bottom by 1-sinx

[tex]\frac{sinx(1-sinx)}{(1+sinx)(1-sinx)}[/tex]

So the acceptable first step in simplifying the expression is multiply by its conjugate at the top and bottom
