Question

how do you simplify sectheta/csctheta

Answer 1

So sec is 1/cos, csc is 1/sin. So you have:

\[\frac{\sec \theta}{\csc \theta} = \frac{\frac{1}{\cos \theta}}{\frac{1}{\sin \theta}}\]

If we combine those fractions properly:

\[\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}\]

Does that look like a function you know?
