OK. Let's give it a whirl:

2 cos2 + sin - 1 = 0

Remember that cos2 = 1 - sin2 . Then, substitute that in the given equation

to see whether there appears to be any chance that it makes life easier:

2 (1 - sin2) + sin - 1 = 0

Eliminate parentheses :

2 - 2 sin2 + sin - 1 = 0

Combine like terms, clean it up, and multiply each side by -1 :

2 sin2 - sin - 1 = 0

This looks factorable:

(2 sin + 1) (sin - 1) = 0

Now we have it within our grasp.

2 sin(x) = 0

sin(x) = 0

x = + or - N pi

sin(x) - 1 = 0

sin(x) = 1

x = pi/2 + 2N pi

'x' is 90 degrees, and every multiple of 180 degrees.

Verify that Cos theta cot theta plus sin theta equals csc theta?

It's easiest to show all of the work (explanations/identities), and x represents theta. cosxcotx + sinx = cscx cosx times cosx/sinx + sinx = csc x (Quotient Identity) cosx2 /sinx + sinx = csc x (multiplied) 1-sinx2/sinx + sinx = csc x (Pythagorean Identity) 1/sinx - sinx2/sinx + sinx = csc x (seperate fraction) 1/sinx -sinx + sinx = csc x (canceled) 1/sinx = csc x (cancelled) csc x =csc x (Reciprocal Identity)

How do you solve 1 minus cosx divided by sinx plus sinx divided by 1 minus cosx to get 2cscx?

(1-cosx)/sinx + sinx/(1- cosx) = [(1 - cosx)*(1 - cosx) + sinx*sinx]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [1 - 2cosx + cos2x + sin2x]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [2 - 2cosx]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [2*(1-cosx)]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = 2/sinx = 2cosecx


What is the reverse of sin2x - sinx-1 equals 0?

There is not a "reverse" - whatever that may mean. The solution is x = (-0.6662 + 2k*pi) radians where k is an integer.
