Question 942422: Please help me simplify this question into identities.
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1 - cot^4 (theta) = 2csc^2 (theta) - csc^4 (theta)
--------------
(1-cot^2)(1+cot^2) = csc^2[2-csc^2]
-----
(1-cot^2)(csc^2) = csc^2(2-csc^2)
1-cot^2 = 2 - csc^2
--------------------------
-cot^2 = 1 - csc^2
csc^2-cot^2 = 1
---
1 = 1
==============
Cheers,
