Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

The expression \(\cos x + \tan x \sin x\)  can be simplified to \(\sec x\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression \(\cos x + \tan x \sin x\)

We have to simplify the given expression and write it in simplified form and choose the correct option from the given options.

Consider the given expression,

\(\cos x + \tan x \sin x\)

We know, \(\tan x= \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\)

Given expression becomes,

\(\cos x +\frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \sin x\)

Taking LCM, we get

\(\frac{\cos^2 x +\sin^2 x}{\cos x}\)

Also from trigonometric identity \(\sin^2 x+\cos^2 x=1\)

Expression becomes,

\(\frac{1}{\cos x}=\sec x\)

Thus, option (b) is correct.

The expression \(\cos x + \tan x \sin x\)  can be simplified to \(\sec x\)
