prove (1+tan^2(x))/(csc(x)sec(x))=tan(x)

Solution

prove

\frac{1 + tan ^{2} ( x )}{csc ( x ) sec ( x )} = tan (x)

Solution

True

Solution steps

\frac{1 + tan ^{2} ( x )}{csc ( x ) sec ( x )} = tan (x)

Manipulating left side

\frac{1 + tan ^{2} ( x )}{csc ( x ) sec ( x )}

Express with sin, cos

\frac{1 + tan ^{2} ( x )}{csc ( x ) sec ( x )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{1 + ( \frac{s i n ( x )}{c o s ( x )} ) ^{2}}{csc ( x ) sec ( x )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

csc (x) = \frac{1}{sin ( x )}

= \frac{1 + ( \frac{s i n ( x )}{c o s ( x )} ) ^{2}}{\frac{1}{s i n ( x )} sec ( x )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

sec (x) = \frac{1}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{1 + ( \frac{s i n ( x )}{c o s ( x )} ) ^{2}}{\frac{1}{s i n ( x )} \cdot \frac{1}{c o s ( x )}}

Simplify

\frac{1 + ( \frac{s i n ( x )}{c o s ( x )} ) ^{2}}{\frac{1}{s i n ( x )} \cdot \frac{1}{c o s ( x )}} : \frac{sin ( x ) ( cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x ) )}{cos ( x )}

\frac{1 + ( \frac{s i n ( x )}{c o s ( x )} ) ^{2}}{\frac{1}{s i n ( x )} \cdot \frac{1}{c o s ( x )}}

Multiply

\frac{1}{sin ( x )} \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( x )} : \frac{1}{sin ( x ) cos ( x )}

\frac{1}{sin ( x )} \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( x )}

Multiply fractions:

\frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b \cdot d}

= \frac{1 \cdot 1}{sin ( x ) cos ( x )}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 1 = 1

= \frac{1}{sin ( x ) cos ( x )}

= \frac{1 + ( \frac{s i n ( x )}{c o s ( x )} ) ^{2}}{\frac{1}{s i n ( x ) c o s ( x )}}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{1 + \frac{s i n ^{2} ( x )}{c o s ^{2} ( x )}}{\frac{1}{s i n ( x ) c o s ( x )}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b}

= \frac{( 1 + \frac{s i n ^{2} ( x )}{c o s ^{2} ( x )} ) sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{1}

Join

1 + \frac{sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )} : \frac{cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

1 + \frac{sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 cos ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{1 \cdot cos ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )} + \frac{sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

Multiply:

1 \cdot cos^{2} (x) = cos^{2} (x)

= \frac{cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{\frac{c o s ^{2} ( x ) + s i n ^{2} ( x )}{c o s ^{2} ( x )} sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{1}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{1} = a

= \frac{cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )} sin (x) cos (x)

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{( cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x ) ) sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

Cancel the common factor:

cos (x)

= \frac{sin ( x ) ( cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x ) )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{sin ( x ) ( cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x ) )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{( cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x ) ) sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Rewrite using trig identities

\frac{( cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x ) ) sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Use the Pythagorean identity:

cos^{2} (x) + sin^{2} (x) = 1

= \frac{1 \cdot sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Simplify

= \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = tan (x)

= tan (x)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
