prove sin(x)sec(x)= 1/(cot(x))

prove

sin (x) sec (x) = \frac{1}{cot ( x )}

True

Solution steps

sin (x) sec (x) = \frac{1}{cot ( x )}

Manipulating right side

\frac{1}{cot ( x )}

Express with sin, cos

\frac{1}{cot ( x )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

cot (x) = \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )}

= \frac{1}{\frac{c o s ( x )}{s i n ( x )}}

Simplify

\frac{1}{\frac{c o s ( x )}{s i n ( x )}} : \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

\frac{1}{\frac{c o s ( x )}{s i n ( x )}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{1}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{c}{b}

= \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Rewrite using trig identities

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

cos (x) = \frac{1}{sec ( x )}

\frac{sin ( x )}{\frac{1}{s e c ( x )}}

Simplify

\frac{sin ( x )}{\frac{1}{s e c ( x )}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b}

= \frac{sin ( x ) sec ( x )}{1}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{1} = a

= sin (x) sec (x)

sin (x) sec (x)

sin (x) sec (x)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
