%28cos%28x%29%2Fsec%28x%29%29%2B%28sinx%2Fcso%28x%29%29..........I guess you have csc%28x%29 here, not cso%28x%29
Reciprocal identities: sec%28x%29=1%2Fcos%28x%29, csc%28x%29=1%2Fsin%28x%29

%28cos%28x%29%2F%281%2Fcos%28x%29%29%29%2B%28sinx%2F%281%2Fsin%28x%29%29%29


%28cos%28x%29%2Acos%28x%29%29%2F1%2B%28sinx%2Asin%28x%29%29%2F1

=cos%5E2%28x%29%2Bsin%5E2%28x%29=1...............Pythagorean identity
