Is it this?\[\frac{\sin x\cdot\cos x}{\sec x}+\csc x = \frac{\sin x}{\csc x}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I guess it got messed up in typing, it's the first two numbers over the second two number = sin x /cos x.
In other words, csc x is next to sec x on the left side of the equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ \sin x \cos x }{\sec x + \csc x }= \frac{ sinx }{ cscx }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ \sin x + \cos x }{ \sec x + \csc x }=\frac{ \sin x }{\csc x }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it's not correct

what you wrote is cot x = tan x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well, \[
\frac{\sin x}{\csc x}=\sin^2x
\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@Roya Oh does left side \(=\cot x\) ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just multiply each part dom to the other part num
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes it is and the right side is tan x , they couldn't be equal

cscx(sinx+cosx)=sinx(secx+cscX) --> 1+cotx=tanx+1

Thanks to Kevin's hint, I can get the left side to sin2x and the right side to sin^2 x.
They're still not the same?
