Question 674034: Using the fundamental identities to get an equivalent expression involving only sines and cosines, and then simplify it.
cos(x) csc(x)
I'm not to sure on how the answer is cot(x). I've tried replacing cos(x) as 1/sec(x) and csc(x) as 1/sin(x) then multiplied so each has the same denominator of sec(x)sin(x). Please explain on how the answer is cot(x).

cos(x) csc(x)
cos(x)*1/sin(x)
cos(x)/sin(x)=cot(x)
