prove csc^2(x)-cos(x)sec(x)=cot^2(x)

prove

csc^{2} (x) - cos (x) sec (x) = cot^{2} (x)

True

Solution steps

csc^{2} (x) - cos (x) sec (x) = cot^{2} (x)

Manipulating left side

csc^{2} (x) - cos (x) sec (x)

Rewrite using trig identities

csc^{2} (x) - cos (x) sec (x)

sec (x) cos (x) = 1

sec (x) cos (x)

Express with sin, cos

sec (x) cos (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

cos (x)

= 1

= 1

= csc^{2} (x) - 1

Use the Pythagorean identity:

csc^{2} (x) = 1 + cot^{2} (x)

csc^{2} (x) - 1 = cot^{2} (x)

= cot^{2} (x)

= cot^{2} (x)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
