Question

simplify :
1-(cos^2x/cot^2x)

Answer 1

Do you remember,
the cotangent is the cosine over the sine

Answer 2

\[1 - \frac{ \cos^2(x) }{ \cos^2(x)/\sin^2(x) }\]

Answer 3

same as...
\[1 - \frac{ \cos^2(x) }{ 1 }*\frac{ \sin^2(x) }{ \cos^2(x) }\]

Answer 4

1-sin^2=cos^2x

Answer 5

Is it right?

Answer 6

yeah , that is an identity

Answer 7

so answer is cos^2x

Answer 8

yep, i think so

Answer 9

you could always try an easy angle in both of them and see if they come out the same

Answer 10

Thank you so much for the help

Answer 11
