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

Solution

prove

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

Solution

True

Solution steps

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

Manipulating left side

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

Express with sin, cos

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

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

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

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

Multiply

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

cos (x)

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

Cancel the common factor:

sin (x)

= 1

= \frac{1}{1}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{1} = a

= 1

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

Convert element to fraction:

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

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

Multiply:

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

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

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

\frac{1}{( \frac{1}{c s c ( x )} ) ^{2}}

Simplify

\frac{1}{( \frac{1}{c s c ( x )} ) ^{2}}

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

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

= \frac{1}{\frac{1}{c s c ^{2} ( x )}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{1}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{c}{b}

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

Apply rule

\frac{a}{1} = a

= csc^{2} (x)

csc^{2} (x)

csc^{2} (x)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
