Beyond the Answer
To simplify the expression \[ \frac{\sin \left(180^{\circ}-x\right) \cdot \cos \left(x-180^{\circ}\right) \cdot \tan \left(360^{\circ}-x\right)}{\sin (-x) \cdot \cos \left(450^{\circ}+x\right)}, \] we can use the trigonometric identities. Let's simplify each part step by step. 1. **Simplify \(\sin(180^{\circ}-x)\)**: \[\sin(180^{\circ}-x) = \sin x.\] 2. **Simplify \(\cos(x-180^{\circ})\)**: \[\cos(x-180^{\circ}) = -\cos x.\] 3. **Simplify \(\tan(360^{\circ}-x)\)**: \[\tan(360^{\circ}-x) = -\tan x.\] So now substituting these simplifications into the numerator: \[ \sin(180^{\circ}-x) \cdot \cos(x-180^{\circ}) \cdot \tan(360^{\circ}-x) = \sin x \cdot (-\cos x) \cdot (-\tan x. \] The expression simplifies to: \[ \sin x \cdot \cos x \cdot \tan x. \] Since \(\tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x},\) we can rewrite it as: \[ \sin x \cdot \cos x \cdot \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} = \sin^2 x. \] Now let's simplify the denominator: 4. **Simplify \(\sin(-x)\)**: \[\sin(-x) = -\sin x.\] 5. **Simplify \(\cos(450^{\circ}+x)\)**: \[ 450^{\circ} = 360^{\circ} + 90^{\circ} \implies \cos(450^{\circ}+x) = \cos(90^{\circ}+x) = -\sin x. \] Now substituting these into the denominator gives us: \[ \sin(-x) \cdot \cos(450^{\circ}+x) = (-\sin x) \cdot (-\sin x) = \sin^2 x. \] Now we can bring this all together: The expression simplifies to: \[ \frac{\sin^2 x}{\sin^2 x}, \] which equals \(1\) as long as \(\sin^2 x \neq 0\). Thus, the final simplified result is: \[ \boxed{1}. \]
