Solution

True

Solution steps

\frac{1 + cos ( x )}{1 - cos ( x )} - \frac{1 - cos ( x )}{1 + cos ( x )} = 4 cot (x) csc (x)

Manipulating left side

\frac{1 + cos ( x )}{1 - cos ( x )} - \frac{1 - cos ( x )}{1 + cos ( x )}

Simplify

\frac{1 + cos ( x )}{1 - cos ( x )} - \frac{1 - cos ( x )}{1 + cos ( x )} : \frac{4 cos ( x )}{( - cos ( x ) + 1 ) ( cos ( x ) + 1 )}

Lowest Common Multiplier (LCM)

Compute an expression comprised of factors that appear either in

1 - cos (x)

1 + cos (x)

= (- cos (x) + 1) (cos (x) + 1)

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

(- cos (x) + 1) (cos (x) + 1)

For

\frac{1 + cos ( x )}{1 - cos ( x )} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

cos (x) + 1

\frac{1 + cos ( x )}{1 - cos ( x )} = \frac{( 1 + cos ( x ) ) ( cos ( x ) + 1 )}{( 1 - cos ( x ) ) ( cos ( x ) + 1 )} = \frac{( 1 + cos ( x ) ) ^{2}}{( - cos ( x ) + 1 ) ( cos ( x ) + 1 )}

For

\frac{1 - cos ( x )}{1 + cos ( x )} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

- cos (x) + 1

\frac{1 - cos ( x )}{1 + cos ( x )} = \frac{( 1 - cos ( x ) ) ( - cos ( x ) + 1 )}{( 1 + cos ( x ) ) ( - cos ( x ) + 1 )} = \frac{( 1 - cos ( x ) ) ^{2}}{( - cos ( x ) + 1 ) ( cos ( x ) + 1 )}

= \frac{( 1 + cos ( x ) ) ^{2}}{( - cos ( x ) + 1 ) ( cos ( x ) + 1 )} - \frac{( 1 - cos ( x ) ) ^{2}}{( - cos ( x ) + 1 ) ( cos ( x ) + 1 )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{( 1 + cos ( x ) ) ^{2} - ( 1 - cos ( x ) ) ^{2}}{( - cos ( x ) + 1 ) ( cos ( x ) + 1 )}

Expand

(1 + cos (x))^{2} - (1 - cos (x))^{2} : 4 cos (x)

(1 + cos (x))^{2} - (1 - cos (x))^{2}

(1 + cos (x))^{2} : 1 + 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)

Apply Perfect Square Formula:

(a + b)^{2} = a^{2} + 2 ab + b^{2}

a = 1, b = cos (x)

= 1^{2} + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)

Simplify

1^{2} + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot cos (x) + cos^{2} (x) : 1 + 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)

1^{2} + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= 1 + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= 1 + 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)

= 1 + 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)

= 1 + 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x) - (1 - cos (x))^{2}

(1 - cos (x))^{2} : 1 - 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)

Apply Perfect Square Formula:

a = 1, b = cos (x)

= 1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)

Simplify

1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot cos (x) + cos^{2} (x) : 1 - 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)

1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= 1 - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= 1 - 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)

= 1 - 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)

= 1 + 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x) - (1 - 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x))

- (1 - 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x)) : - 1 + 2 cos (x) - cos^{2} (x)

- (1 - 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x))

Distribute parentheses

= - (1) - (- 2 cos (x)) - (cos^{2} (x))

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a, - (a) = - a

= - 1 + 2 cos (x) - cos^{2} (x)

= 1 + 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x) - 1 + 2 cos (x) - cos^{2} (x)

Simplify

1 + 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x) - 1 + 2 cos (x) - cos^{2} (x) : 4 cos (x)

1 + 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x) - 1 + 2 cos (x) - cos^{2} (x)

Group like terms

= 2 cos (x) + cos^{2} (x) + 2 cos (x) - cos^{2} (x) + 1 - 1

Add similar elements:

cos^{2} (x) - cos^{2} (x) = 0

= 2 cos (x) + 2 cos (x) + 1 - 1

Add similar elements:

2 cos (x) + 2 cos (x) = 4 cos (x)

= 4 cos (x) + 1 - 1

1 - 1 = 0

= 4 cos (x)

= 4 cos (x)

= \frac{4 cos ( x )}{( - cos ( x ) + 1 ) ( cos ( x ) + 1 )}

= \frac{4 cos ( x )}{( 1 + cos ( x ) ) ( 1 - cos ( x ) )}

Rewrite using trig identities

\frac{4 cos ( x )}{( 1 + cos ( x ) ) ( 1 - cos ( x ) )}

Expand

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= 1 - cos^{2} (x)

= \frac{4 cos ( x )}{1 - cos ^{2} ( x )}

Use the Pythagorean identity:

1 = cos^{2} (x) + sin^{2} (x)

1 - cos^{2} (x) = sin^{2} (x)

= \frac{4 cos ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{4 cos ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Manipulating right side

4 cot (x) csc (x)

Express with sin, cos

4 cot (x) csc (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

cot (x) = \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )}

= 4 \cdot \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} csc (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

csc (x) = \frac{1}{sin ( x )}

= 4 \cdot \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} \cdot \frac{1}{sin ( x )}

Simplify

4 \cdot \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} \cdot \frac{1}{sin ( x )} : \frac{4 cos ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

4 \cdot \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} \cdot \frac{1}{sin ( x )}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} \cdot \frac{d}{e} = \frac{a \cdot b \cdot d}{c \cdot e}

= \frac{cos ( x ) \cdot 1 \cdot 4}{sin ( x ) sin ( x )}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 4 = 4

= \frac{4 cos ( x )}{sin ( x ) sin ( x )}

sin (x) sin (x) = sin^{2} (x)

sin (x) sin (x)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

sin (x) sin (x) = sin^{1 + 1} (x)

= sin^{1 + 1} (x)

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= sin^{2} (x)

= \frac{4 cos ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{4 cos ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{4 cos ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

We showed that the two sides could take the same form
