It just simplifies down to 1=1. You have to use your trig identities... tan=sin/cos cot=cos/sin thus tan x cot= (sin/cos) (cos/sin) since sin is in the numerator for tan, when it is multiplied by cot (which has sin in the denominator) both of the signs cancel and both now have a value of 1. The same happens with cos. so you get 1 x 1=1 so there is your answer. just learn your trig identities and you will understand

Cos2x equals 1 minus tan squared x divide by1 plus tan squared x?
The Answer is 1 coz, 1-Tan squarex = Cot square X. So cot square x divided cot square x is equal to 1
Can you simplify 1-cot x?
csc^2x+cot^2x=1
What is cot theta divided by tan theta plus one equal?
whats the big doubt,cot/tan+1= 1+1= 2
Tan plus cot divided by tan equals csc squared?
(tanx+cotx)/tanx=(tanx/tanx) + (cotx/tanx) = 1 + (cosx/sinx)/(sinx/cosx)=1 + cos2x/sin2x = 1+cot2x= csc2x This is a pythagorean identity.
How do you find cot on your Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus calculator?
The TI-83 does not have the cot button, however, if you type 1/tan( then this will work the same as the cot since cot=1/tan. The other way to do this is to type (cos(x))/(sin(x)) where x is the angle you're looking for. This works because cot=cos/sin
