You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use substitution until you get the terms on the left hand side to equal terms on the right hand side.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"cos%28x%29cot%28x%29+%2B+sin%28x%29+=+csc%28x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "

}.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"cos%5E2%28x%29%2Bsin%5E2%28x%29=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You know that this is true so the identity is also true.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
