Simplify the expression (cscy+coty)(cscy-coty)/cscy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first off the numerator is \[\csc^2(y)-\cot^2(y)\] after you multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then we need some identity for the numerator starting with the well known \[\cos^2(x)+\sin^2(x)=1\] we can get both \(\cot^(x)\) and \(\csc^2(x)\) by dividing through by (\sin^2(x)\) to get \[\cot^2(x)+1=\csc^2(x)\] or \[\csc^2(x)-\cos^2(x)=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

typo there i meant \[\csc^2(x)-\cot^2(x)=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the numerator is 1 you get \[\frac{1}{\csc(y)}=\sin(y)\]
