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.
They are co-functions meaning that 90 - sec x = csc x.
Tan^2
sin(theta) = 15/17, cosec(theta) = 17/15 cos(theta) = -8/17, sec(theta) = -17/8 cotan(theta) = -8/15 theta = 2.0608 radians.
If tan theta equals 2, then the sides of the triangle could be -2, -1, and square root of 5 (I used the Pythagorean Theorem to get this). From this, sec theta is negative square root of 5. It is negative because theta is in the third quadrant, where cosine, secant, sine, and cosecant are all negative.

Yes.
With all due respect, you don't really want to know howto solve it.You just want the solution.csc(Θ) = 1/sin(Θ)tan(Θ) = sin(Θ)/cos(Θ)csc(Θ) x tan(Θ) = 1/sin(Θ) x sin(Θ)/cos(Θ) = 1/cos(Θ) = sec(Θ)
If you want to simplify that, it usually helps to express all the trigonometric functions in terms of sines and cosines.
Ut is equual to tan(theta) / (sec(theta) + 1)
sec(x)*cot(x) = (1/cos(x))*(cos(x)/sin(x)) = (1/sin(x)) = csc(x)
csc[]tan[] = sec[]. L: Change csc[] into one over sin[]. Change tan[] into sin[] over cos[]. R: Change sec[] into one over cos[]. 1/sin[] times sin[]/cos[] = 1/cos[]. L: To multiply 2 fractions, multiply the numerators, and multiply the denominators, and put the numerators' product over the denominators' product. R: Nothing more to do. sin[]/sin[]cos[] = 1/cos[]. L: You have a sin[] on both top and bottom. Cross them off to get a one on the top. 1/cos[] = 1/cos[]. Done. [] is theta. L is the left side of the equation. R is the right side.
They are co-functions meaning that 90 - sec x = csc x.
Let 'theta' = A [as 'A' is easier to type] sec A - 1/(sec A) = 1/(cos A) - cos A = (1 - cos^2 A)/(cos A) = (sin^2 A)/(cos A) = (tan A)*(sin A) Then you can swap back the 'A' with theta
tan(x)*csc(x) = sec(x)
Use your identity to write the numerator in terms of tangent.
