prove cot^2(x)=csc^2(x)-csc^2(x)sin^2(x)

Solution

prove

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

Solution

True

Solution steps

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

Manipulating left side

cot^{2} (x)

Express with sin, cos

cot^{2} (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= \frac{1 - sin ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{1 - sin ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Manipulating right side

csc^{2} (x) - csc^{2} (x) sin^{2} (x)

Express with sin, cos

csc^{2} (x) - csc^{2} (x) sin^{2} (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= (\frac{1}{sin ( x )})^{2} - (\frac{1}{sin ( x )})^{2} sin^{2} (x)

Simplify

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

(\frac{1}{sin ( x )})^{2} - (\frac{1}{sin ( x )})^{2} sin^{2} (x)

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

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

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

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

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

sin^{2} (x)

= 1

= \frac{1}{sin ^{2} ( x )} - 1

Convert element to fraction:

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

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

Multiply:

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

= \frac{1 - sin ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{1 - sin ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{1 - sin ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
