Simplify the expression. In comments.

OpenStudy (onepieceftw):

\[\frac{ \csc^2θ \cos^2θ }{ \sec^2θ+\cscθ^2 }\]

OpenStudy (onepieceftw):

I just can't seem to understand trig identities at all.

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Give me one sec. I have a couple things that'll help you! :)

OpenStudy (onepieceftw):

Thank you :)

You want to try to keep everything in terms of Sine and Cosine, so use this to convert these into terms of Sin and Cos..

OpenStudy (onepieceftw):

Crap I wrote the equation wrong. that cos should be a sec

OpenStudy (onepieceftw):

\[\frac{ \csc^2 \theta \sec^2 \theta }{ \sec^2 \theta + \csc^2 \theta }\]

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

\[\frac{ \frac{ 1 }{ \sin^2 \Theta }*\frac{ \cos^2 \Theta }{ 1 } }{ \frac{ 1 }{ \cos^2 \Theta }*\frac{ \cos^2 \Theta }{ 1 }}\]

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Something like that ^

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Oops. Well not like that then. Change the cos to sec..

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Since it is division you can take the reciprocals of the ones on the bottom and then make it multiplication.

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

I have to go! Have a nice day!

OpenStudy (onepieceftw):

Okay, thank you! You too. I'll try to figure it out from here. :)
