Use basic identities to simplify the expression. cot θ sec θ sin θ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ques not clear..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there * in between?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know thats why im confused... The answer choices are csc2θ 1 tan2θ sec2θ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so there will be *

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there isn't a * but i assume there should be one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah...let me do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cot theta=cos thetea/sin theta sec theta=1/cos theta and sin theta right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so would they cancel out and produce 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is\[\cos \theta /\sin \theta *(1/\cos \theta)*\sin \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of course

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the correct answer of the choices given is 1? I thought it was 1 as well but i couldn't work it our right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it is 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only if it is * though...But generally no symbol means *
