csc^2(x)=cot(x)+1

Solution

csc^{2} (x) = cot (x) + 1

Solution

x = \frac{π}{4} + πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

Degrees

x = 4 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 9 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

csc^{2} (x) = cot (x) + 1

Subtract

cot (x) + 1

from both sides

csc^{2} (x) - cot (x) - 1 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 1 - cot (x) + csc^{2} (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

csc^{2} (x) = 1 + cot^{2} (x)

csc^{2} (x) - 1 = cot^{2} (x)

= - cot (x) + cot^{2} (x)

- cot (x) + cot^{2} (x) = 0

Solve by substitution

- cot (x) + cot^{2} (x) = 0

Let:

cot (x) = u

- u + u^{2} = 0

- u + u^{2} = 0 : u = 1, u = 0

- u + u^{2} = 0

Write in the standard form

a x^{2} + b x + c = 0

u^{2} - u = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

u^{2} - u = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 1, b = - 1, c = 0

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 1 ) \pm ( - 1 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0}{2 \cdot 1}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 1 ) \pm ( - 1 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0}{2 \cdot 1}

(- 1)^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0 = 1

(- 1)^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0

(- 1)^{2} = 1

(- 1)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- 1)^{2} = 1^{2}

= 1^{2}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

= 1

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0 = 0

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

= 1 - 0

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 0 = 1

= 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 1 ) \pm 1}{2 \cdot 1}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 1 ) + 1}{2 \cdot 1}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 1 ) - 1}{2 \cdot 1}

u = \frac{- ( - 1 ) + 1}{2 \cdot 1} : 1

\frac{- ( - 1 ) + 1}{2 \cdot 1}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{1 + 1}{2 \cdot 1}

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= \frac{2}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{2}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= 1

u = \frac{- ( - 1 ) - 1}{2 \cdot 1} : 0

\frac{- ( - 1 ) - 1}{2 \cdot 1}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{1 - 1}{2 \cdot 1}

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 1 = 0

= \frac{0}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{0}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{0}{a} = 0, a \neq = 0

= 0

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 1, u = 0

Substitute back

u = cot (x)

cot (x) = 1, cot (x) = 0

cot (x) = 1, cot (x) = 0

cot (x) = 1 : x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

cot (x) = 1
