prove 1-csc^2(x)tan^2(x)=-tan^2(x)

Solution

prove

1 - csc^{2} (x) tan^{2} (x) = - tan^{2} (x)

Solution

True

Solution steps

1 - csc^{2} (x) tan^{2} (x) = - tan^{2} (x)

Manipulating left side

1 - csc^{2} (x) tan^{2} (x)

Express with sin, cos

1 - csc^{2} (x) tan^{2} (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= 1 - (\frac{1}{sin ( x )})^{2} tan^{2} (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

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

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

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

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

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

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

sin^{2} (x)

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

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

Multiply:

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

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

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

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

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

- tan (x) tan (x)

Simplify

- tan (x) tan (x) : - tan^{2} (x)

- tan (x) tan (x)

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

= - tan^{1 + 1} (x)

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= - tan^{2} (x)

- tan^{2} (x)

- tan^{2} (x)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
