You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-sin A csc A - sin^2 A - cos^2 A - tan A cot A ---------> eqn 1
\n" ); document.write( "Okay let's isolate section by section:
\n" ); document.write( "1st part: \"-sinAcscA\"
\n" ); document.write( "By reciprocal identities:
\n" ); document.write( "\"sinA=1%2FcscA\"----------> \"1=sinAcscA\", substitute in eqn 1 and looks:
\n" ); document.write( "=-1-sin^2A-cos^2A-tanAcotA
\n" ); document.write( "2nd part:
\n" ); document.write( "-sin^2A-cos^2A
\n" ); document.write( "By Pyth. identities:
\n" ); document.write( "sin^2 A + cos^2 A=1, since it has (-) on the 2nd part, then it will be = \"-1\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Eqn 1 becomes now,
\n" ); document.write( "-1-1- tanA cotA
\n" ); document.write( "By reciprocal identities: \"tanA=1%2FcotA\" ----> \"1=tanAcotA\", substituting
\n" ); document.write( "= \"-1-1-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "= \"-3\" --------------------> FINAL ANSWER no.2
