csc%28theta%29%2Atan%28theta%29%2Acos%28theta%29
In Trig, a good rule of thumb is: "When you can't see anything better to do, try rewriting sec's, csc's, tan's and cot's in terms of sin's and/or cos's and if it gets easier." Let's try this:
%281%2Fsin%28theta%29%29%2A%28sin%28theta%29%2Fcos%28theta%29%29%2Acos%28theta%29
As we can see, everything cancels out! So the answer is 1.
