prove (cot(x))/(csc(x)-sin(x))=sec(x)

Solution

prove

\frac{cot ( x )}{csc ( x ) - sin ( x )} = sec (x)

Solution

True

Solution steps

\frac{cot ( x )}{csc ( x ) - sin ( x )} = sec (x)

Manipulating left side

\frac{cot ( x )}{csc ( x ) - sin ( x )}

Express with sin, cos

\frac{cot ( x )}{csc ( x ) - sin ( x )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{\frac{c o s ( x )}{s i n ( x )}}{csc ( x ) - sin ( x )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{\frac{c o s ( x )}{s i n ( x )}}{\frac{1}{s i n ( x )} - sin ( x )}

Simplify

\frac{\frac{c o s ( x )}{s i n ( x )}}{\frac{1}{s i n ( x )} - sin ( x )} : \frac{cos ( x )}{1 - sin ^{2} ( x )}

\frac{\frac{c o s ( x )}{s i n ( x )}}{\frac{1}{s i n ( x )} - sin ( x )}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x ) ( \frac{1}{s i n ( x )} - sin ( x ) )}

Join

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

\frac{1}{sin ( x )} - sin (x)

Convert element to fraction:

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

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

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

1 - 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)

= 1 - sin^{2} (x)

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

= \frac{cos ( x )}{\frac{- s i n ^{2} ( x ) + 1}{s i n ( x )} sin ( x )}

Multiply

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

sin (x)

= 1 - sin^{2} (x)

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

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

cos (x)

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

\frac{1}{\frac{1}{s e c ( x )}}

Simplify

\frac{1}{\frac{1}{s e c ( x )}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{1}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{c}{b}

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

Apply rule

\frac{a}{1} = a

= sec (x)

sec (x)

sec (x)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
