From the Pythagorean identity, sin2x = 1-cos2x.
LHS = 1/(sinx cosx) - cosx/sinx
LHS = 1/(sinx cosx) - (cosx/sinx)(cosx/cosx)
LHS = 1/(sinx cosx) - cos2x/(sinx cosx)
LHS = (1- cos2x)/(sinx cosx)
LHS = sin2x /(sinx cosx) [from Pythagorean identity]
LHS = sin2x /(sinx cosx)
LHS = sinx/cosx
LHS = tanx [by definition]
RHS = tanx
LHS = RHS and so the identity is proven.

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
How do you express the term 1-csc squared x all over sin x cot x to cos x?
(1 - csc2x)/(sinx*cotx) = -cot2x/sinxcotx = -cotx/sinx = -(cosx/sinx)/sinx = -cosx/sin2x = -cosx/(1-cos2x) = cosx/(cos2x - 1)
How do you prove the following equation the quantity of sin theta divided by 1 minus cos theta minus the quantity 1 plus cos theta divided by sin theta equals 0?
You will have to bear with the angle being represented by x because this browser will not allow characters from other alphabets!sin^2x + cos^2x = 1=> sin^2x = 1 - cos^x = (1 + cosx)(1 - cosx)Divide both sides by sinx (assuming that sinx is not zero).=> sinx = (1 + cosx)(1 - cosx)/sinxDivide both sides by (1 - cosx)=> sinx/(1 - cosx) = (1 + cosx)/sinx=> sinx/(1 - cosx) - (1 + cosx)/sinx = 0
Parenthesis 1 plus tanx end parenthesis divided by sinx equals cscx plus secx?
(1 + tanx)/sinxMultiply by sinx/sinxsinx + tanxsinxDivide by sin2x (1/sin2x) = cscxcscx + tan(x)csc(x)tanx = sinx/cosx and cscx = 1/sinxcscx + (sinx/cosx)(1/sinx)sinx cancels outcscx + 1/cosx1/cosx = secxcscx + secx
