Need help proving the following

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ \sin(x) }{ 1-\cos(x) }+ \frac{\sin(x) }{ 1+\cos(x) }=2\csc(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Combine the terms on the left hand side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the denominator, you will have a trig identity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have tried that and i knows you end up with \[\frac{ \sin(x)-\sin(x)\cos(x)+\sin(x)+\sin(x)\cos(x)}{ \sin^2(x)}\] which would be\[\frac{ 2\sin(x) }{ \sin^2(x) }\] simplified

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just don't know were to take it from there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin^2(x) = sin(x) * sin(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, thank you.
