Step 1.1

Rewrite $1$ as $1^{2}$ .

$\frac{\sin (x)}{\sqrt{1^{2} - \sin^{2} (x)}}$

Step 1.2

Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, $a^{2} - b^{2} = (a + b) (a - b)$ where $a = 1$ and $b = \sin (x)$ .

$\frac{\sin (x)}{\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}$

Step 2

Multiply $\frac{\sin (x)}{\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}{\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}$ .

$\frac{\sin (x)}{\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}{\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}$

Step 3.1

Multiply $\frac{\sin (x)}{\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}{\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}$ .

$\frac{\sin (x) \sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}{\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))} \sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}$

Step 3.2

Raise $\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}$ to the power of $1$ .

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

Step 3.3

Raise $\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}$ to the power of $1$ .

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

Step 3.4

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

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

Step 3.5

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$\frac{\sin (x) \sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}{{\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}^{2}}$

Step 3.6

Rewrite ${\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}^{2}$ as $(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))$ .

Step 3.6.1

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}$ as ${((1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x)))}^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$\frac{\sin (x) \sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}{{({((1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x)))}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}}$

Step 3.6.2

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$\frac{\sin (x) \sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}{{((1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x)))}^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}}$

Step 3.6.3

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

$\frac{\sin (x) \sqrt{(1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x))}}{{((1 + \sin (x)) (1 - \sin (x)))}^{\frac{2}{2}}}$

Step 3.6.4

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .
