prove tan(x)csc(x)sec(x)=tan^2(x)+1

Solution

prove

tan (x) csc (x) sec (x) = tan^{2} (x) + 1

Solution

True

Solution steps

tan (x) csc (x) sec (x) = tan^{2} (x) + 1

Manipulating left side

tan (x) csc (x) sec (x)

Express with sin, cos

csc (x) sec (x) tan (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{1}{sin ( x )} sec (x) tan (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

sec (x) = \frac{1}{cos ( x )}

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

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

sin (x)

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

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 1 = 1

= \frac{1}{cos ( x ) cos ( x )}

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

cos (x) cos (x)

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

= cos^{1 + 1} (x)

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= cos^{2} (x)

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

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

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

Manipulating right side

tan^{2} (x) + 1

Express with sin, cos

1 + tan^{2} (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

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

Convert element to fraction:

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

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

Multiply:

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

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

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

\frac{cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
