Yes, it is.

Except I chose not to be lazy and actually gave a proper solution.

And Shazer, indeed I am using that identity =)

Since what he is doing is basically multiplying the numerator by 1/cosB, it is the same as multiplying the numerator by 1 and multiplying the denominator by CosB.

Multiply top and bottom by cos.
Thanks. That makes sense.

I just find it difficult to approach these questions and I never know if I am actually getting anywhere or not.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

With lots of practice, you'll pick up different approaches and notice what to do when you see particular questions =)

Props to enoilgam for the effort, still got it ;)

Yeah, maths is something I really need to dedicate more time to, because it'll play a big part in my ATAR.

That but since I notice you're doing standard english, I think you should try maximise mark there.
