How do you prove the identity by choosing one side to solve: cot^2(x)+sec^2(x)=tan^2(x)+csc^2(x)?
\n" ); document.write( "
cot2 x + sec2 x = tan2 x + csc2 x

\n" ); document.write( "Left-side:
\"cot%5E2+%28x%29+%2B+sec%5E2+%28x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"cot%5E2+%28x%29+%2B+tan%5E2+%28x%29+%2B+1\" ------ \"sec%5E2+%28x%29+=+tan%5E2+%28x%29+%2B+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"tan%5E2+%28x%29+%2B+cot%5E2+%28x%29+%2B+1\" ------ Rearranging
\n" ); document.write( "\"tan%5E2+%28x%29+%2B+cot%5E2+%28x%29+%2B+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"tan%5E2+%28x%29+%2B+csc%5E2+%28x%29\" ---------- \"cot%5E2+%28x%29+%2B+1+=+csc%5E2+%28x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Thus, the LEFT SIDE is PROVEN as being equal to RIGHT-SIDE
\n" ); document.write( "
