Question

factor and simplify the expression: cos^2x+cos^2xcot^2x

Answer 1

hey, that's just cot^2(x)!

Answer 2

cos^2 + cos^2 cos^2
----------- is what I see so far
sin^2

Answer 3

=cos^2(x)(1+cos^2(x)/sin^2(x))
=cos^2(x)((sin^2(x)+cos^2(x))/sin^2(x))
=cos^2(x)/sin^2(x)
=cot^2(x)

Answer 4

work of art i say

Answer 5

or factor out a cos^2 lol

Answer 6

cos^2(1+cot^2)

cos^2(csc^2)

cos^2
----- = 1 ......
cos^2

Answer 7

let me check my 1+cot^2

Answer 8

sin^2 + cos^2 = 1
------------ ----
sin^2 sin^2 sin^2

1 + cot^2 = csc^2.... my bad lol

Answer 9

cos^2
----- = cot^2 smarty was right :)
sin^2

Answer 10

yours more elegant tho

Answer 11

csc=1/sin^2

Answer 12

i did it on the fly

Answer 13

i did it with one synapse tied behind my right prefrontal lobe ;)
