secx cscx=tanx+cotx solve only one side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are you solving for?

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

i should get lhs and rhs equall

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll work this out for you

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm going to draw it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nevermind it's too slow. Anyway. You know how tan and cosine can be changed into sine/cos and cosine/sine?

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyhow, tan +1 = sec or you could make it cot+1=csc

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

no u cant because u should not use them u have to use them if those are squares

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you want to get the sides to equal eachother?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you need to do that, switch the sec and csc into 1/sin and 1/cos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cross multiply and then you get cos over or sine over cos

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

ya i need this meathoad

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

could u plz use euation one i cat understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now multiply the other side by the reciprocal of the tan or cotan and you get either cot^2+1= csc^2 or tan^2+1= sec^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I'm going to work it out and then scan my paper, is that okay with you?

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

ok thnx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it may take a little while, brb

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright it's loading just a little more :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright it's loading just a little more :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hope this helps :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually when providing a proof.. most teachers want you to only use one side ie secxcscx=tanx+cotx =sinx/cosx +cosx/tanx =sin^2x+cos^x/(cosxsinx) =1/cosxsinx =secxcscx (lhs)
