Question 230798: Hi,
I have a "Trig Identity" problem that I'm to verify. I know they are equal by substituting in a value, but I don't know how to approach it. I thought using a conjugate was the way, but it got me nowhere. Here is the problem:
(cotX * cosX)/(cotX + cosX) = (cotX - cosX)/(cotX * cosX)
Thank you,
Lynn
