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.

How do you simplify csc theta -cot theta cos theta?

For a start, try converting everything to sines and cosines.


How do you simplify csc theta cot theta cos theta?

cosec(q)*cot(q)*cos(q) = 1/sin(q)*cot(q)*cos(q) = cot2(q)


Express csc theta in terms of cot theta theta is in quadrant 3?

It is -sqrt(1 + cot^2 theta)


How do you simplify sin theta times csc theta divided by tan theta?

Since sin(theta) = 1/cosec(theta) the first two terms simply camcel out and you are left with 1 divided by tan(theta), which is cot(theta).


Can you simplify 1-cot x?

How do i simplify csc theta divided by sec theta?

By converting cosecants and secants to the equivalent sine and cosine functions. For example, csc theta is the same as 1 / sin thetha.


How do you simplify cos theta times csc theta divided by tan theta?

'csc' = 1/sin'tan' = sin/cosSo it must follow that(cos) (csc) / (tan) = (cos) (1/sin)/(sin/cos) = (cos) (1/sin) (cos/sin) = (cos/sin)2


What is csc theta?

That depends on the value of the angle, theta. csc is short for "cosecans", and is the reciprocal of the sine. That is, csc theta = 1 / sin theta.


How do you simplify csc theta minus cot x theta times cos theta plus 1?

There can be no significant simplicfication if some of the angles are theta and others are x, so assume that all angles are x. [csc(x) - cot(x)]*[cos(x) + 1] =[1/sin(x) - cos(x)/sin(x)]*[cos(x) + 1] =1/sin(x)*[1 - cos(x)]*[cos(x) + 1] =1/sin(x)*[1 - cos2(x)] =1/sin(x)*[sin2(x)] = sin(x)


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)


What is cos theta multiplied by csc theta?

It is cotangent(theta).


How do you simplify sec x cot x?

sec(x)*cot(x) = (1/cos(x))*(cos(x)/sin(x)) = (1/sin(x)) = csc(x)
