(cosx+sinx)(cscx-secx)=cotx-tanx

myininaya (myininaya):

are we doing identities :)

myininaya (myininaya):

or are we solving for x?

myininaya (myininaya):

or are can we do anything with it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

identities

myininaya (myininaya):

fun!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Foil it out giving: cos(x)csc(x)-sin(x)sec(x)+sin(x)csc(x)-sec(x)cos(x)=cot(x)-tan(x) csc(x)=1/sin(x) sec(x)=1/cos(x) so you have: cos(x)/sin(x)-sin(x)/cos(x)+sin(x)/sin(x)-cos(x)/cos(x)=cot(x)-tan(x) cot(x)-tan(x)+1-1=cot(x)-tan(x) Done.

Haha :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

DING! LEVEL UP!

myininaya (myininaya):

we shall race again!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(cosx+sinx)(cscx-secx)=cotx-tanx cosx(cscx)+cosx(cscx)-secx(cosx)+sinx(cscx)-sinx(secx) csc(x)=1/sin(x) sec(x)=1/cos(x) cos(x)/sin(x)-sin(x)/cos(x)+sin(x)/sin(x)-cos(x)/cos(x) cotx-tanx-1+1=cotx-tanx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry didnt saw ur reply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the domain restrictions?

myininaya (myininaya):

cotx=cosx/sinx and tanx=sinx/cosx make sure these bottoms aren't zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For cotangent: \[x \ne n \pi, n \in \mathbb{Z}\] For tangent: \[x \ne \frac{(2n+1)\pi}{2},n \in \mathbb{Z}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

sinx is zero when x=0,pi,2pi, and so on... in general sinx is zero when x=2pi*n for n=...-2,-1,0,1,2,3... and sinx is zero when x=pi+2n*pi for n=...-2,-1,0,1,2,3,... cosx is zero when x=pi/2 and 3pi/2 in general cosx is zero when x=pi/2+2pi*n and x=3pi/2+2pi*n for n=integer so the domain is all numbers not including any of the ones in mentioned above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I WIN AGAIN. HAHAHHAHAHAH.

myininaya (myininaya):

let me say all real numbers not including the ones i just mentioned lol

myininaya (myininaya):

very good i have taught u well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha xP
