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.
(tanx+cotx)/tanx=(tanx/tanx) + (cotx/tanx) = 1 + (cosx/sinx)/(sinx/cosx)=1 + cos2x/sin2x = 1+cot2x= csc2x This is a pythagorean identity.
(1 - csc2x)/(sinx*cotx) = -cot2x/sinxcotx = -cotx/sinx = -(cosx/sinx)/sinx = -cosx/sin2x = -cosx/(1-cos2x) = cosx/(cos2x - 1)
There is no sensible or useful simplification.
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)
(sin(x)cot(x) - cos(x))/tan(x)(Multiply by tan(x)/tan(x))sin(x) - cos(x)tan(x)(tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x))sinx - cos(x)(sin(x)/cos(x))(cos(x) cancels out)sin(x) - sin(x)0
(tanx+cotx)/tanx=(tanx/tanx) + (cotx/tanx) = 1 + (cosx/sinx)/(sinx/cosx)=1 + cos2x/sin2x = 1+cot2x= csc2x This is a pythagorean identity.
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.
(1 - csc2x)/(sinx*cotx) = -cot2x/sinxcotx = -cotx/sinx = -(cosx/sinx)/sinx = -cosx/sin2x = -cosx/(1-cos2x) = cosx/(cos2x - 1)
y = (sinx)^(e^x) ln(y) = ln((sinx)^(e^x)) ln(y) = (e^x)ln(sinx) (1/y)dy = (e^x)(1/sinx)(cosx)+ln(sinx)(e^x)dx (1/y)dy = (e^x)(cotx)+ln(sinx)(e^x)dx dy = ((sinx)^(e^x))((cotx)(e^x)+ln(sinx)(e^x))dx dy = ((e^x)(sinx)^(e^x))(cotx+ln(sinx))dx
There is no sensible or useful simplification.
y=1/sinxy'=(sinx*d/dx(1)-1*d/dx(sinx))/(sin2x)y'=(sinx*0-1(cosx))/(sin2x)y'=(-cosx)/(sin2x)y'=-(cosx/sinx)*(1/sinx)y'=-cotx*cscx
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?

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.
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.
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.
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)
