Question

Help please! I keep getting 1 as the answer...

Prove the given identity.

(sinθ/cscθ) + (cosθ/secθ) = sinθcscθ

Answer 1

ok.... well

sin/csc = sin / (1/sin) = sin^2

and

cos/sec = cos/(1/cos) = cos^2

and sincsc = sin * 1/sin = 1

so you get the base identity

sin^2 + cos^2 = 1

Answer 2

That's what I keep getting. However, the book is asking for me to get sinθcscθ. Of course that just equals 1 but I need to show it as sinθcscθ somehow

Answer 3

ok.... weird question sorry I'm not much help

Answer 4

It's alright. I think I'm just going to solve it regularly and put 1 = sinθcscθ.

Thank you though!
