Question

Use basic identities to simplify the expression.

csc(theta) * cot(theta) / sec (theta)

Answer 1

I got really stuck on this one

Answer 2

\[\frac{ \frac{ 1 }{ \sin (\theta) }\frac{ \cos (\theta) }{ \sin(\theta) } }{ \frac{ 1 }{ \cos(\theta)} }\]
\[\frac{ \frac{ \cos(\theta) }{ \sin ^{2}(\theta) } }{ \frac{ 1 }{ \cos(\theta) } }\]
\[\frac{ \cos(\theta) }{ \sin ^{2}(\theta) }(\frac{ \cos \theta) }{ 1 })\]
\[\frac{ \cos ^{2(\theta)} }{ \sin ^{2}(\theta) }\]
\[\tan ^{2}(\theta)\]

Answer 3

not tan^2(theta)

\[\cot ^{2}(\theta)\]

Answer 4

thank you but that is not one of my options from my homework. It can be cot^2, csc^2, sec^2 or 1.

Answer 5

oh ok!
Thank you!!!
