Solution steps
Solve by:
One step at a time
cot(x)+tan(x)=sec(x)csc(x)
Manipulating left side
cot(x)+tan(x)
Express with sin, cos
=cos2(x)+sin2(x)cos(x)sin(x)
Rewrite using trig identities
=1cos(x)sin(x)
Rewrite using trig identities
sec(x)csc(x)
We showed that the two sides could take the same form
