The value of cos A is √(1 + x²)/ (1 - x²) /√1 + x

Trigonometric ratios

It is important to note that

sin A = opposite/ hypotenuse

cos A = adjacent/ hypotenuse

Then,

opposite = [tex]\sqrt{1} - x[/tex]

Hypotenuse = [tex]\sqrt{1} + x[/tex]

Let's find the adjacent side using the Pythagorean theroem

[tex](\sqrt{1} + x)^2 = (\sqrt{1 -x } )^2 + x^2[/tex]

[tex]1 + x^2 = 1 - x^2 + x^2[/tex]

[tex]x = \sqrt{\frac{1 + x^2}{1 -x^2} }[/tex]

cos A = x/hypotenuse

[tex]cos A = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{1+x^2}{1 -x^2} } }{\sqrt{1} +x}[/tex]

cos A = √(1 + x²)/ (1 - x²) /√1 + x

Thus, the value of cos A is √(1 + x²)/ (1 - x²) /√1 + x
