Step-by-step Solution

Problem to solve:

$\cot\left(x\right)\sec\left(x\right)=\csc\left(x\right)$

Specify the solving method

1

Starting from the right-hand side (RHS) of the identity

$\csc\left(x\right)$
2

Since the expression on the right of the equality is too simple, it's not clear how we can proceed to prove the identity from there. Although we know that the identity is true

true

Final Answer

true
