Question

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

Answer 1

Do you know your identites foremost?

Answer 2

Yeah this one uses the pythagorean identity right

Answer 3

Not exactly, this most likely looks like something that using the reciprocal identities.
\[\Large \cot \theta= \frac {\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}\]
\[\Large \sec \theta= \frac {1}{\cos \theta} \]
\[\Large \csc \theta=\frac{ 1} {\sin \theta} \]

Answer 4

So you just replace the cot and sec with it.

Answer 5

I did that I need help solving it because i got the wrong answer

Answer 6

Ok well substituting, we get \[\Large \frac {\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} \times \frac {1}{\cos \theta} \times \sin \theta\]

Answer 7

the cos and the sin cancel out and you're left with ?

Answer 8

1 ok thanks that helped could you you help me out with one more ?

Answer 9

Sure, np

Answer 10

Thanks its like the one before Use basic identities to simplify the expression.

\[1/ \cot \theta +\sec \sin\]

Answer 11

and the cot is squared
