SOLUTION: If the following equation is given, what is the value of sec(x)? (cot(x)/tan(x))

SOLUTION: If the following equation is given, what is the value of sec(x)? (cot(x)/tan(x)) - (csc(x)/sin(x)) = (2/sec(x))

Question 1013471: If the following equation is given, what is the value of sec(x)?
(cot(x)/tan(x)) - (csc(x)/sin(x)) = (2/sec(x))
Answer by josgarithmetic(39620) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Apply the definitions and simplify from that. You want to begin with everything in sines and cosines first before going through other steps.

ANSWER:

(The text to show the steps are difficult to type and then place here).
Note that you will find the need in one of the later steps that from , you will use .
