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.

How do you Prove sin x times sec x equals tan x?
Remember SecX = 1/CosX Substitute SinX X 1 /CosX = SinX / CosX = TanX
Cosx - sinx?
Given: = cosx - sinxJust isolate sx= sx(co-in)
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 the transformation that maps y equals sinx onto y equals the inverse of sinx?
f(x) = 1/x except where x = 0.
Solve 2sinx-sin3x equals 0?
2sinx - sin3x = 0 2sinx - 3sinx + 4sin3x = 0 4sin3x - sinx = 0 sinx(4sin2x - 1) = 0 sinx*(2sinx - 1)(2sinx + 1) = 0 so sinx = 0 or sinx = -1/2 or sinx = 1/2 It is not possible to go any further since the domain for x is not defined.
