jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
do you know what mean csc x ?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so csc x = ?
and how can you rewriting cot x and tan x using sin x and cos x ?

ITS NUMBER 2 IN THE PICTURE
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
\(\sin (x + \pi) = -\sin x\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes i got that part do you want to see my work?
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
No, I don't see your work. i only see the question in the figure.

Ok, let's take it from the beginning.
\(\Large \dfrac{\sin (x + \pi)}{\cos (x + \frac{3\pi}{2})} = \tan^2 x - \sec^2 x\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that's my work
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
We use the identity for sin & cos of sums:
\(\Large \dfrac{\sin x \cos \pi + \sin \pi \cos x}{\cos x \cos \frac{3\pi}{2} - \sin x \sin \frac{3\pi}{2}} = \tan^2 x - \sec^2 x\)
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
I see your work now.
So far we have exactly the same.

Now let's take the sin & cos of pi and 3pi/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
did i get that part right?
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
\(\Large \dfrac{(\sin x )(-1) + (0) \cos x}{(\cos x)(0) - (\sin x)(-1)} = \tan^2 x - \sec^2 x\)
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
You are very close, but I think you have a 1 where it should be -1 as the sin 3pi/2 at the end of the denominator.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what is sin of 3pi/2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it 1?
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
\(\Large \dfrac{-\sin x }{\sin x} = \tan^2 x - \sec^2 x\)
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
sin 3pi/2 = -1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
HOW DID YOU FIND THE OUT?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
since it's -1 wouldnt be postive because it's 0-sin(-1) = 0+sin(1)
