verify sinA +cosA cotA=cscA

OpenStudy (larseighner):

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

OpenStudy (larseighner):

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 \[\sin^2 A + \cos^2 A \] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (larseighner):

so what is the definition of \(\csc A \) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/sinA

OpenStudy (larseighner):

Then you are done.
