Question 1194264: Verify the identity
Tan (alpha sign)+ cot( beta)= tan(beta)+cot(alpha)/tan(beta) cot (alpha)

alpha =
beta =
This confirms the identity.
Notes:- On the second step, I multiplied every term by tan(alpha) to get rid of the cot(alpha) in the denominator
- tan(x)*cot(x) = 1
- cot(x) = 1/( tan(x) )
- Pay careful attention to the fact that the left hand side (LHS) stays the same the entire time. I only altered the right hand side (RHS) to transform it into the LHS.
- There isn't a hard fast rule, but usually the idea is to start with the more complicated side and try to simplify it to match the other unaltered side.
