$\sin (x) \tan (x)$

Step 1

Rewrite $\tan (x)$ in terms of sines and cosines.

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

Step 2

Multiply $\sin (x) \frac{\sin (x)}{\cos (x)}$ .

Step 2.1

Combine $\sin (x)$ and $\frac{\sin (x)}{\cos (x)}$ .

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

Step 2.2

Raise $\sin (x)$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{\sin^{1} (x) \sin (x)}{\cos (x)}$

Step 2.3

Raise $\sin (x)$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{\sin^{1} (x) \sin^{1} (x)}{\cos (x)}$

Step 2.4

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\frac{{\sin (x)}^{1 + 1}}{\cos (x)}$

Step 2.5

Add $1$ and $1$ .

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

Step 3

Factor $\sin (x)$ out of $\sin^{2} (x)$ .

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

Step 4

Separate fractions.

$\frac{\sin (x)}{1} \cdot \frac{\sin (x)}{\cos (x)}$

Step 5

Convert from $\frac{\sin (x)}{\cos (x)}$ to $\tan (x)$ .

$\frac{\sin (x)}{1} \tan (x)$

Step 6

Divide $\sin (x)$ by $1$ .

$\sin (x) \tan (x)$
