cot^2(θ)-1=csc^2(θ)

Solution

cot^{2} (θ) - 1 = csc^{2} (θ)

Solution

No Solution for θ \in R

Solution steps

cot^{2} (θ) - 1 = csc^{2} (θ)

Subtract

csc^{2} (θ)

from both sides

cot^{2} (θ) - 1 - csc^{2} (θ) = 0

Express with sin, cos

- 1 + cot^{2} (θ) - csc^{2} (θ)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= - 1 + (\frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )})^{2} - csc^{2} (θ)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

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

(\frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

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

(\frac{1}{sin ( θ )})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

= \frac{1 ^{2}}{sin ^{2} ( θ )}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= \frac{1}{sin ^{2} ( θ )}

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

Combine the fractions

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

Apply rule

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

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

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

Convert element to fraction:

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

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

Multiply:

1 \cdot sin^{2} (θ) = sin^{2} (θ)

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

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

\frac{- 1 + cos ^{2} ( θ ) - sin ^{2} ( θ )}{sin ^{2} ( θ )} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

- 1 + cos^{2} (θ) - sin^{2} (θ) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 1 + cos^{2} (θ) - sin^{2} (θ)

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

= - 1 + cos (2 θ)

- 1 + cos (2 θ) = 0

Move

1

to the right side

- 1 + cos (2 θ) = 0

Add

1

to both sides

- 1 + cos (2 θ) + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

cos (2 θ) = 1

cos (2 θ) = 1

2 θ = 0 + 2 πn

2 θ = 0 + 2 πn

Solve

2 θ = 0 + 2 πn : θ = πn

2 θ = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

2 θ = 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 θ = 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 θ}{2} = \frac{2 πn}{2}

Simplify

θ = πn

θ = πn

θ = πn

Since the equation is undefined for:

πn
