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

prove

True

Solution steps

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

Manipulating left side

(1 + csc (x)) (1 + csc (- x))

Use the negative angle identity:

csc (- x) = - csc (x)

= (1 - csc (x)) (1 + csc (x))

Rewrite using trig identities

(1 - csc (x)) (1 + csc (x))

Expand

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

(1 + csc (x)) (1 - csc (x))

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

(a + b) (a - b) = a^{2} - b^{2}

a = 1, b = csc (x)

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

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= 1 - csc^{2} (x)

= 1 - csc^{2} (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= - cot^{2} (x)

= - cot^{2} (x)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
