As a first step, I would convert everything to sines and cosines.
sin x cot x = sec x - cos x
thus becomes:
(sin x) (cos x / sin x) = (1 / cos x) - cos x
Simplifying:
cos x = 1 / cos x - cos x
It doesn't look as though they are equal. In fact, if you do the calculations for some specific angle, e.g. 30 degrees, you see that they are not.

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 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)
What is sinx plus cosx plus cotx simplified?
There is no sensible or useful simplification.
How does secx plus 1 divided by cotx equal 1 plus sinx divided by cosx?
secx = 1/cosxand 1/cotx = tanx, therefore1/cosx + tanx = 1 + sinx/cosx, andsin/cos = tanx, therefore1/cosx + tanx = 1 + tanx, therefore1/cosx = 1, therfore1 = cosx.So, therfore, it is not neccesarily true.But if you meansecx plus 1 divided by cotx equals (1 plus sinx) divided by cosx(this is probably what you mean) Let's start over!secx = 1/cosxand 1/cotx = tanx, therefore1/cosx + tanx = (1+sinx)/cosx therefore1/cosx + tanx = 1/cosx + sinx/cosxsinx/cosx = tanx therfore1/cosx + tanx = 1/cosx + tanxDo you think this is correct? Subtract both sides by 1/cosx + tanx:0 = 0So, therefore, this is correct!(BTW, I'm in Grade 6! :P)

How do you solve csc x-sin x equals cos x cot x?
cscx-sinx=(cosx)(cotx) 1/sinx-sinx=(cosx)(cosx/sinx) (1/sinx)-(sin^2x/sinx)=cos^2x/sinx cos^2x/sinx=cos^2x/sinx Therefore LS=RS You have to remember some trig identities when answering these questions. In this case, you need to recall that sin^2x+cos^2x=1. Also, always switch tanx cotx cscx secx in terms of sinx and cosx.

How do you prove that the derivative of csc x is equals to -csc x cot x?
d/dx cscx = d/dx 1/sinx = d/dx (sinx)-1= -(sinx)-2 cosx = -cosx/sin2x = -1/sinx.cosx/sinx = -cscx cotx I suggest you copy this out onto paper so it is more clear. The / signs make it harder to see what is happening compared to horizontal divide lines.
Secx tanx - cosx cotx equals sinx?
I suggest you convert everything to sines and cosines, and then try to simplify. For example, sec x = 1 / cos x, tan x = sin x / cos x, etc. Then - depending on the problem requirements - you either verify whether they are always equal or not, or determine for what values of x they are equal.
How do you verify the identity sinx cscx 1?
sinx cscx = 1 is the same thing as sinx(1/sinx) = 1 which is the same as sinx/sinx = 1. This evaluates to 1=1, which is true.
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)
