I really dont understand the end factoring, I know the answer is 2/sin theta, but how the hell do you get that.
what do you mean by "the end factoring"
and yes, you're supposed to get the right side, so the final answer is practically given to you
The last step you wrote, how is that simplified down? Can you like cross it out or something im lost and have a quiz tomorrow :/
in that last step, I FOILED out (1+cos(theta))(1+cos(theta)) to get 1 + 2*cos(theta) + cos^2(theta)
once you had that, then?
then combine the fractions and see what simplifies
so multiply the top and bottom of sin theta/1+cos theta by sin theta, then multiply 1+cos theta/sin theta by (1+cos(theta)). Then foil that out,(1+cos(theta))(1+cos(theta)), which gives 1 + 2*cos(theta) + cos^2(theta). Then combine the fractions, simplify it down, and get 2/sin theta.?
yeah there's a bit more in between, but you have the right idea
Im horrible at fractions, so can you show those steps? the cos's simplify out?
ok hold on

cross out so left with sin theta= 2csc theta, simplify that to 2sin theta?
then 2/sin(theta) turns into 2csc(theta)
