Question 1205416
<pre>
What you wrote was NOT an identity.  You wrote this:

1 + sin theta/cot^2 theta = sin theta/csc theta - 1

But you should have written this:

(1 + sin theta)/cot^2 theta = sin theta/(csc theta - 1)

Without the proper placing of parentheses, your problem
cannot be solved. Be careful!!!

OK, you want to start with the right side:

{{{matrix(15,3,

(1 + sin^""(theta))/cot^2(theta),""="",sin^""(theta)/(csc^""(theta) - 1),
 "","","",
 
"",""="",sin^""(theta)^""/( 1^""/sin^""(theta)-1 ),

                         "","","",

"",""="",sin^2(theta)^""/(1-sin^""(theta) ),

                         "","","",
"",""="",(sin^2(theta)^""/(1-sin^""(theta) ))(( 1+sin^""(theta)^"" )/( 1+sin^""(theta)^"" )),

                         "","","",

"",""="",( sin^2(theta)(1+sin^""(theta)) )/( 1-sin^2(theta) ),

                         "","","",

"",""="",( sin^2(theta)(1+sin^""(theta)) )/(cos^2(theta) ),

                         "","","",

"",""="", (1+sin^""(theta)^""^"") /(cos^2(theta)/sin^2(theta) ),

                         "","","",

"",""="",(1 + sin^""(theta))/cot^2(theta)



)}}}  

If you want to know how I got any step, just ask in the thank-you note.
