document.write( "Question 840859: I'm am trying to do a proof where (sinx - 2 + 1/sinx)/(sinx - 1/sinx) = (sinx - 1)/(sinx + 1)
\n" );
document.write( "I have attempted to convert 1/sinx to cscx then cross multiply which ends up equalizing the top and bottom of the left hand side of the equation to 1 and I've also tried changing sinx -2 + 1/sinx to sin^2x/sinx + 1/sinx -2 over sin^2x/sinx - 1/sinx but then I just get stuck with the 2 in the way of everything. I'm just needing help on how to solve the problem and not just have the answer given to me \n" );
