Question 978823: Use basic identities to simplify the expression.
[ csc (theta)cot(theta)] / sec(theta)
Please show the process! Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! csc(theta) = 1/sin(theta)
cot(theta) = cos(theta) / sin(theta)
sec(theta) = 1/cos(theta)
***************************************
[ csc (theta)cot(theta)] / sec(theta) =
[ (1/sin(theta)) * (cos(theta)/sin(theta)) / (1/cos(theta) =
( cos(theta) / sin^2(theta) ) * cos(theta) =
cos^2(theta) / sin^2(theta) =
cot^2(theta)
