@surjithayer ?

\[\csc ^2x-\cot ^2 x=1,\csc ^2x-1=\cot ^2x\] \[L.H.S.=\frac{ \csc ^2x-1 }{ \csc x+1 }=\frac{ \left( \csc x+1 \right)\left( \csc x-1 \right) }{ \left( \csc x+1 \right) }\] \[=\csc x-1=\frac{ 1 }{ \sin x }-1=\frac{ 1-\sin x }{ \sin x }=R.H.S.\]

Only one question, just so I fully understand. How did you get from (1/sin x) -1 to (1-sin x)/sin x?

@surjithayer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1-\sin x }{ \sin x }=\frac{ 1 }{\sin x }-\frac{ \sin x }{ \sin x }=\frac{ 1 }{\sin x }-1\]

Oh... Okay... I think I got it now! :D Thank you so much! God bless!
