Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Use the given tan⁡x\tan x to find sin⁡x\sin x and cos⁡x\cos x.

    Given tan⁡x=125\tan x = \frac{12}{5}. In a right-angled triangle, tan⁡x=OppositeAdjacent\tan x = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}.
    Let the opposite side be 12k12k and the adjacent side be 5k5k for some constant kk.
    Using the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse HH is:

    H=(12k)2+(5k)2=144k2+25k2=169k2=13kH = \sqrt{(12k)^2 + (5k)^2} = \sqrt{144k^2 + 25k^2} = \sqrt{169k^2} = 13k

    Now, we can find sin⁡x\sin x and cos⁡x\cos x:

    sin⁡x=OppositeHypotenuse=12k13k=1213\sin x = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{12k}{13k} = \frac{12}{13} cos⁡x=AdjacentHypotenuse=5k13k=513\cos x = \frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{5k}{13k} = \frac{5}{13}
  2. Substitute the values of sin⁡x\sin x and cos⁡x\cos x into the expression.

    The expression is sin⁡x+2cos⁡x1−sin⁡x\frac{\sin x + 2 \cos x}{1 - \sin x}.
    Substitute sin⁡x=1213\sin x = \frac{12}{13} and cos⁡x=513\cos x = \frac{5}{13}:

    1213+2(513)1−1213\frac{\frac{12}{13} + 2 \left(\frac{5}{13}\right)}{1 - \frac{12}{13}}
  3. Simplify the numerator.

    1213+2(513)=1213+1013=12+1013=2213\frac{12}{13} + 2 \left(\frac{5}{13}\right) = \frac{12}{13} + \frac{10}{13} = \frac{12+10}{13} = \frac{22}{13}
  4. Simplify the denominator.

    1−1213=1313−1213=13−1213=1131 - \frac{12}{13} = \frac{13}{13} - \frac{12}{13} = \frac{13-12}{13} = \frac{1}{13}
  5. Divide the simplified numerator by the simplified denominator.

    2213113=2213×131=22\frac{\frac{22}{13}}{\frac{1}{13}} = \frac{22}{13} \times \frac{13}{1} = 22

    The value of the expression is 22.
