right the left hand side in terms of sine and cosine, then add

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right the left hand side in terms of sine and cosine and then at last Add .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{b}{a}+\frac{a}{b}=\frac{a^2+b^2}{ab}\] \[\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}+\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}\] \[=\frac{\sin^2(x)+\cos^2(x)}{\sin(x)\times \cos(x)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only one more step to get the answer, the only real trig step here what is \(\sin^2(x)+\cos^2(x)\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well 1 is not the answer. However the fraction becomes \[\frac{ 1 }{ \sin \theta \cos \theta }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is the required right hand side. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, that is what it is, and that is what you want

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you were supposed to show by algebra that the left hand side equals the right hand side and that is what you need
