Question

(__)^2= (csc x-1)(csc x+1) solve for the blank

Answer 1

would it be cscx^2

Answer 2

it would be \[\csc^{2} x\]

Answer 3

okay

Answer 4

(csc x-1)(csc x+1) = \[\csc^{2}(x) - 1 = (blank)^{2}\]

so \[\sqrt{\csc2(x)−1} = blank\]

Answer 5

Nolastudent-- you're way makes sense, but is there a way to simplify is more?

Answer 6

yes, sorry, trig identity: csc^2(x)-1 = cot^2(x)

Answer 7

*your*. Sorry... :)

Answer 8

so square root of cotangent squared, which is cotangent.

Answer 9

That's okay, we're in the math section XD

Answer 10

Okay, that makes more sense. I can never simplify mine enough... :)

Answer 11

LOL, thanks for the help gandalfwiz!

Answer 12

So the final answer is cotx?

Answer 13

yep
