Specify the solving method

1

The tangent function is inverse to the cotangent: $\tan(x)=\frac{1}{\cot(x)}$

$\csc\left(x\right)\frac{1}{\cot\left(x\right)}=\sec\left(x\right)$

$\csc\left(x\right)\frac{1}{\cot\left(x\right)}=\sec\left(x\right)$

Learn how to solve trigonometric identities problems step by step online. Prove the trigonometric identity csc(x)tan(x)=sec(x). The tangent function is inverse to the cotangent: \tan(x)=\frac{1}{\cot(x)}. Multiply the fraction and term. Applying the cosecant identity: \displaystyle\csc\left(\theta\right)=\frac{1}{\sin\left(\theta\right)}. Apply the trigonometric identity: \displaystyle\cot(x)=\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}.
