Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(sec (theta) - cos (theta)) divided by sin (theta).
=======
= [sec/sin] - [cos/sin]
-----
= [1/cos*sin] - cot
---
= [2/sin(2x)] - cot(x)
=========
Note: There are many ways to "simplify"
these trig expressions. The answer book
can only show one of many possible answers.
