Cot(x) [cot2(x)-cot2(x)] [cot3(x)-cot3(x)] cot(x) = cot2(x)

The second through fifth terms cancel each other out in pairs. The square brackets were added to make this clear.

How do you simplify csc theta cot theta?

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.


What is the answer of csc x plus cot x?

Without an "equals" sign somewhere, no question has been asked,so there's nothing there that needs an answer.Is it the sum that you're looking for ?csc(x) + cot(x) = 1/sin(x) + cos(x)/sin(x) = [1 + cos(x)] / sin(x)


How do you simplify cot of theta times sin of theta?

By converting everything to sines and cosines. Since tan x = sin x / cos x, in the cotangent, which is the reciprocal of the tangent: cot x = cos x / sin x. You can replace any other variable (like thetha) for the angle.


When does cotangent equal -1?

cot[x]= -1 cot[x] = cos[x] / sin[x] cos[x] / sin[x] = -1 cos[x] = -sin[x] |cos[x]| = |sin[x]| at every multiple of Pi/4 + Pi/2. However, the signs disagree at 3Pi/4 + nPi, where n is an integer.


How can arccot of tanx be simplified?

There is not much that can be done by way of simplification. Suppose arccot(y) = tan(x) then y = cot[tan(x)] = 1/tan(tan(x)) Now cot is NOT the inverse of tan, but its reciprocal. So the expression in the first of above equation cannot be simplified further. Similarly tan[tan(x)] is NOT tan(x)*tan(x) = tan2(x)
