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
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)
2 cot(x) + 1 = -1 2 cot(x) = -2 cot(x) = -1 cos(x)/sin(x) = -1 cos(x) = - sin(x) x = 135°, 315°, 495°, ... another one every 180 degrees
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
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.
cot x = (cos x) / (sin x) cos (x - 180) = cos x cos 180 + sin x sin 180 = - cos x sin (x - 180) = sin x cos 180 - cos x sin 180 = - sin x cot (x - 180) = (cos (x - 180)) / (sin (x - 180)) = (- cos x) / (- sin x) = (cos x) / (sin x) = cot x
y = sec(x)*cot(x)*cos(x)To solve this trigonometric equation, you need to know these identities:sec(x) = 1/(cos(x))cot(x) = 1/(tan(x)) = (cos(x))/(sin(x))Now substitute these identities into the original equation:y = (1/cos(x))*((cos(x))/(sin(x)))*cos(x)Now cancel out the terms that are similar in the numerator and denominator to leave you with:y = (1/(sin(x)))*cos(x)y = (cos(x))/(sin(x))From the aforementioned known identity, the final simplified trigonometric equation becomes:y = cot(x)
== cot(x)== 1/tan(x) = cos(x)/sin(x) Now substitute cos(x)/sin(x) into the expression, in place of cot(x) So now: sin(x) cot(x) cos(x) = sin(x) cos(x) (cos(x)/sin(x) ) sin(x) cos(x) cos(x)/sin(x) The two sin(x) cancel, leaving you with cos(x) cos(x) Which is the same as cos2(x) So: sin(x) cot(x) cos(x) = cos2(x) ===
sec(x)*cot(x) = (1/cos(x))*(cos(x)/sin(x)) = (1/sin(x)) = csc(x)

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)
Suppose csc(x)*sin(x) = cos(x)*cot(x) + y then, ince csc(x) = 1/sin(x), and cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x), 1 = cos(x)*cos(x)/sin(x) + y so y = 1 - cos2(x)/sin(x) = 1 - [1 - sin2(x)]/sin(x) = [sin2(x) + sin(x) - 1]/sin(x)
2 cot(x) + 1 = -1 2 cot(x) = -2 cot(x) = -1 cos(x)/sin(x) = -1 cos(x) = - sin(x) x = 135°, 315°, 495°, ... another one every 180 degrees
Cot x is 1/tan x or cos x / sin x or +- sqrt cosec^2 x -1
There are 6 basic trig functions.sin(x) = 1/csc(x)cos(x) = 1/sec(x)tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) or 1/cot(x)csc(x) = 1/sin(x)sec(x) = 1/cos(x)cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x) or 1/tan(x)---- In your problem csc(x)*cot(x) we can simplify csc(x).csc(x) = 1/sin(x)Similarly, cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x).csc(x)*cot(x) = (1/sin[x])*(cos[x]/sin[x])= cos(x)/sin2(x) = cos(x) * 1/sin2(x)Either of the above answers should work.In general, try converting your trig functions into sine and cosine to make things simpler.
The trig identaty of cot(x) is cos(x)/sin(x) so then if we want to evaluate cot (68) deg. we just plug into the identady. so cos(68)/sin(68)=.404
(tan x + cot x)/sec x . csc x The key to solve this question is to turn tan x, cot x, sec x, csc x into the simpler form. Remember that tan x = sin x / cos x, cot x = 1/tan x, sec x = 1/cos x, csc x = 1/sin x The solution is: [(sin x / cos x)+(cos x / sin x)] / (1/cos x . 1/sin x) [(sin x . sin x + cos x . cos x) / (sin x . cos x)] (1/sin x cos x) [(sin x . sin x + cos x . cos x) / (sin x . cos x)] (sin x . cos x) then sin x. sin x + cos x . cos x sin2x+cos2x =1 The answer is 1.
