The trigonometric functions cotangent and cosecant are defined as follows:
cot%28theta%29=cos%28theta%29%2Fsin%28theta%29 and csc%28theta%29=1%2Fsin%28theta%29 .
An important trigonometric identity is
%28sin%28theta%29%29%5E2%2B%28cos%28theta%29%29%5E2=1 .
It is often written as sin%5E2%28theta%29%2Bcos%5E2%28theta%29=1 ,
and we understand that the exponent 2 written on the function means the value of the function squared.

Knowing all that (and a little algebra),
