Which of the following equations are identities? Check all that apply. Please explain. Thank you!

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

Nnesha (nnesha):

did you take notes ??

Nnesha (nnesha):

do you know sin = ?? abd cos = ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

and*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

identities are those equations which are true for all x .

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

Are those considered reciprocal identities?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes all equations which are true for all x are considered

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u know abt sin and cos ,cot and tan functions

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

http://www.themathpage.com/atrig/trigonometric-identities.htm it looks like C. cot x=cos x/sin x and D. tan x=1/cot x are on there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes u are right and what is a option.

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

but the x is replaced with a theta sign on there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x can be anything it can be theta beta alha gamma phi anything ,u can think of

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

Oh ok so c. and d. would be the answer then right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and also a if option a is cosx=1/secx

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

Even A. also? What is a option im not sure what that means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is option a in the question

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

oh ok sorry I miss understood option A. is csc x=1/sec x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is csc ?

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

Cosecant

Nnesha (nnesha):

easy way to memorize it you should have one "c" for example if you have sin it should be equal to something which have "c" |dw:1423633316332:dw| for cos cos already have c so it should be equal t o sec i guess its make sense :P
