How do you simplify cos times cot plus sin?
cos*cot + sin = cos*cos/sin + sin = cos2/sin + sin = (cos2 + sin2)/sin = 1/sin = cosec
Does cotangent plus one equal cosecant?
Cotangent = 1/Tangent : Cosecant = 1/Sine Then, cot + 1 = (1/tan) + 1 = (cos/sin) + (sin/sin) = (cos + sin)/ sin. Now, cos² + sin² = 1 so for the statement to be valid the final expression would have to be : (cos² + sin² ) / sin = 1/sin. As this is not the case then, cot + 1 ≠ cosec. In fact, the relationship link is cot² + 1 = cosec²
How do you prove that (1 plus cotx)2-2cotx 1(1-cos)(1 plus cos)?
Manipulate normally, noting:cot x = cos x / sin xcos² x + sin² x = 1 → sin²x = 1 - cos² xa² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)1 = 1²ab = baa/(bc) = a/b/c(1 + cot x)² - 2 cot x = 1² + 2 cot x + cot² x - 2 cot x= 1 + cot² x= 1 + (cos x / sin x)²= 1 + cos² x / sin² x= 1 + cos² x / (1 - cos² x)= ((1 - cos² x) + cos² x)/(1 - cos² x)= 1/(1² - cos² x)= 1/((1 + cos x)(1 - cos x))= 1/(1 - cos x)/(1 + cos x)QED.
Is 2 cot x sin x cos x equals 2 - 2 sin 2 x an identity?
The easiest way to approach this problem is by rewriting the left hand side entirely in terms of sin and cos and then simplifying. To do so, use the fact that cot(x)=cos(x)/sin(x) to get that 2*cot(x)*sin(x)*cos(x)=2*cos(x)/sin(x)*sin(x)*cos(x)=2*cos(x)² Next, we will try to simplify the right hand side by factoring and utilizing the formula cos(x)²+sin(x)²=1 which implies that 1-sin(x)²=cos(x)² 2-2sin(x)²=2*(1-sin(x)²)=2*cos(x)² Since both sides can be simplified to equal the same thing, both sides must always be equal, and the equation 2*cot(x)*sin(x)*cos(x)=2-2sin(x)² must be an identity
Csc squared divided by cot equals csc x sec. can someone make them equal?
cot(x)=1/tan(x)=1/(sin(x)/cos(x))=cos(x)/sin(x) csc(x)=1/sin(x) sec(x)=1/cos(x) Therefore, (csc(x))2/cot(x)=(1/(sin(x))2)/cot(x)=(1/(sin(x))2)/(cos(x)/sin(x))=(1/(sin(x))2)(sin(x)/cos(x))=(1/sin(x))*(1/cos(x))=csc(x)*sec(x)
