Verify.

verify what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ \cos \theta }{ 1-\sin \theta }=\frac{ \sin \theta-\csc \theta }{ \cos \theta-\cot \theta }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Go from the right hand side numerator: sin -1/sin = (sin^2 -1)/ sin = -cos^2/sin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

denominator: cos - cos/sin= (sincos -cos)/sin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

combine the two, we don't have sin at the denominator of both them, right? now it is \(\dfrac{-cos^2\theta}{sin\theta cos\theta -cos\theta}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\dfrac{cos\theta}{1-sin\theta}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dat sit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did the cos in the numerator become positive?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

switch the term from denominator to get -1 out, cancel out with numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin cos - cos = -(cos -sin cos)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in other word, factor -cos out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\dfrac{-cos^2\theta}{sin\theta cos\theta -cos\theta}=\dfrac{-cos^2\theta}{-cos\theta +sin\theta cos\theta }=\dfrac{-cos^2\theta}{-cos\theta(1-sin\theta )}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but 1-sin is not sin-1. They're not the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey, your left hand side is cos / 1 - sin and I got it, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh my god. Yes it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you
