somebody pleease help me. :confused: I've tried figuring out this problem and can't seem to get it. :mad: you have to verify the trig identity

the problem is
(cotx/cosx)+(secx/cotx)=sec2xcscx


pleeease help me.

Uh it's been a while. But have you tried converting them all to cosx and sinx? Isn't cotx cosx over sinx? And secx is 1/cosx? Well I'd try that. Keep trying to substitute all the rules in

You have some bad notation. You have when you mean . Please use the ^ for powers. Better yet, if you plan on posting to any extent, try learning a little LaTex. If you wish, you can click on 'quote' at the bottom of my post to see the code I used to display it.



The previous advise was good. Convert the left side to sin and cos.





Now, can you continue? A little cross multiplying and you should see it fall together.. Write back if you remain stuck. Just remember your identities. may prove handy.
