What is the definition of cot A?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cosx/sinx
OpenStudy (larseighner):
So what is cos A (cos A/sin A)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cosA is 1/secA
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no im working on mine sorry

I am trying to help you learn something. Doing your homework for you will not help you.
Now so far you have:
\[ \sin A + \cos A \left( {{\cos A} \over {sin A}} \right) = \csc A\]
So what is
\[ \cos A \left( {{\cos A} \over {sin A}} \right) \] ?
What can you do to express this as one fraction?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its will be cos^2A/sinA
OpenStudy (larseighner):
Then to add
\[ \sin A \]
to
\[ {{cos^2 A} \over {\sin A}} \]
\( \sin A \) has to have the same denominator. What can you do to \( \sin A \) to give it the same denominator?
OpenStudy (larseighner):
So
\[ \sin A \left( {{\sin A} \over {\sin A}} \right) = \left( {{\sin^2 A} \over {\sin A}} \right) \]
OpenStudy (larseighner):
Now
\[ {{\sin^2 A + \cos^2 A} \over {\sin A}} = \csc A\]
but what is
\[\sin^2 A + \cos^2 A \]
?
