\sin(\theta )+r\tan(\theta )=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}\theta }(v)
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
r\tan(\theta )=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}\theta }(v)-\sin(\theta )
Subtract \sin(\theta ) from both sides.
\tan(\theta )r=-\sin(\theta )
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\tan(\theta )r}{\tan(\theta )}=-\frac{\sin(\theta )}{\tan(\theta )}
Divide both sides by \tan(\theta ).
r=-\frac{\sin(\theta )}{\tan(\theta )}
Dividing by \tan(\theta ) undoes the multiplication by \tan(\theta ).
r=-\cos(\theta )
Divide -\sin(\theta ) by \tan(\theta ).
