Well I don't exactly get "the solution", but simplifying the equation is quite simple. Maybe that's what you're looking for. Here are the steps for simplifying it.
costancsc = 1
1. Change tan to sin/cos
2. Change csc to 1/sin
cos(sin/cos)(1/sin) = 1
And as you can now see, the first cos cancels with the second one under the sin/cos fraction, and the first sin cancels with the second one under the 1/sin fraction consequentially leaving you with 1 = 1.
For a better look, notice this fraction when all three parts are combined
cos * sin * 1
----------------
cos * sin
See how the cos and sin cancel each other leaving you with 1 * 1 * 1 which is just 1. Therefore the final simplification is just 1 = 1.
I hope this helps!

Tan = Sin/Cos
Csc = 1/Sin
Hence
Cos Tan Csc =
Cos * Sin/Cos * 1/ Sin
Cancel down by 'cos'.
1 * Sin/1 * 1 / Sin
Cancel down by 'son'
Hence
1* 1/1 * 1/1/ = 1/1/ = 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.
Sine Its reciprocal is Cosecant Algebraically Sin ; Reciprocal is '1/ Sin' known as 'Cosecant(Csc)'. Similarly Cos(Cosine) ; 1/ Cos (Secant(Sec)) Tan(Tangent) ; 1/ Tan ( Cotangent(Cot)).
Sin(30) = 1/2 Sin(45) = root(2)/2 Sin(60) = root(3)/2 Cos(30) = root(3)/2 Cos(45) = root(2)/2 Cos(60) = 1/2 Tan(30) = root(3)/3 Tan(45) = 1 Tan(60) = root(3) Csc(30) = 2 Csc(45) = root(2) Csc(60) = 2root(3)/3 Sec(30) = 2root(3)/3 Sec(45) = root(2) Sec(60) = 2 Cot(30) = root(3) Cot(45) = 1 Cot(60) = root(3)/3
Sin(A) = Opposite/Hypotenuse Its reciprotcal is 1/Sin(A) = Cosecant(A) = Csc(A) = Hypotenuse / Opposite. Similarly Cos(A) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse Its reciprotcal is 1/Cos(A) = Secant(A) = Sec(A) = Hypotenuse / Adjacent Tan(A) = Opposite/Adjacent Its reciprotcal is 1/Tan(A) = Cotangent(A) = Cot(A) = Adjacent / Opposite.
tan(9) + tan(81) = sin(9)/cos(9) + sin(81)/cos(81)= {sin(9)*cos(81) + sin(81)*cos(9)} / {cos(9)*cos(81)} = 1/2*{sin(-72) + sin(90)} + 1/2*{sin(72) + sin(90)} / 1/2*{cos(-72) + cos(90)} = 1/2*{sin(-72) + 1 + sin(72) + 1} / 1/2*{cos(-72) + 0} = 2/cos(72) since sin(-72) = -sin(72), and cos(-72) = cos(72) . . . . . (A) Also tan(27) + tan(63) = sin(27)/cos(27) + sin(63)/cos(63) = {sin(27)*cos(63) + sin(63)*cos(27)} / {cos(27)*cos(63)} = 1/2*{sin(-36) + sin(90)} + 1/2*{sin(72) + sin(36)} / 1/2*{cos(-36) + cos(90)} = 1/2*{sin(-36) + 1 + sin(36) + 1} / 1/2*{cos(-36) + 0} = 2/cos(36) since sin(-36) = -sin(36), and cos(-36) = cos(36) . . . . . (B) Therefore, by (A) and (B), tan(9) - tan(27) - tan(63) + tan(81) = tan(9) + tan(81) - tan(27) - tan(63) = 2/cos(72) – 2/cos(36) = 2*{cos(36) – cos(72)} / {cos(72)*cos(36)} = 2*2*sin(54)*sin(18)/{cos(72)*cos(36)} . . . . . . . (C) But cos(72) = sin(90-72) = sin(18) so that sin(18)/cos(72) = 1 and cos(36) = sin(90-36) = sin(54) so that sin(54)/cos(36) = 1 and therefore from C, tan(9) – tan(27) – tan(63) + tan(81) = 2*2*1*1 = 4
