Question

I need to prove the trigonometric equation but have no idea how. help?

Answer 1

\[(\sec \theta/\tan \theta)=\csc \theta\]

Answer 2

well start by using the fact that

sec = 1/cos

tan = sin/cos

csc = 1/sin

so you have to make the substitutions

\[\frac{\frac{1}{\cos(x)}}{\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}}\]

the rule for dividing by a fraction is to flip and multply

so it becomes

\[\frac{1}{\cos(x)} \times \frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)} =\]

ok.... so cancel the common factor... see what you have

then look at the information at the top again...

hope it helps
