document.write( "Question 837620: I'm thoroughly stuck on this trig problem: [(cosine of theta times cotangent of theta) over (1 minus sin of theta)] minus 1 equals cosecant of theta. I've tried converting everything to sines and cosines, and that didn't work, and I tried everything I could think of with the fundamental identities and nothing worked there either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. \n" ); document.write( "
