prove (csc(A))/(csc(A)-sin(A))=sec^2(A)

Solution

prove

\frac{csc ( A )}{csc ( A ) - sin ( A )} = sec^{2} (A)

Solution

True

Solution steps

\frac{csc ( A )}{csc ( A ) - sin ( A )} = sec^{2} (A)

Manipulating left side

\frac{csc ( A )}{csc ( A ) - sin ( A )}

Express with sin, cos

\frac{csc ( A )}{csc ( A ) - sin ( A )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{\frac{1}{s i n ( A )}}{\frac{1}{s i n ( A )} - sin ( A )}

Simplify

\frac{\frac{1}{s i n ( A )}}{\frac{1}{s i n ( A )} - sin ( A )} : \frac{1}{1 - sin ^{2} ( A )}

\frac{\frac{1}{s i n ( A )}}{\frac{1}{s i n ( A )} - sin ( A )}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{1}{sin ( A ) ( \frac{1}{s i n ( A )} - sin ( A ) )}

Join

\frac{1}{sin ( A )} - sin (A) : \frac{1 - sin ^{2} ( A )}{sin ( A )}

\frac{1}{sin ( A )} - sin (A)

Convert element to fraction:

sin (A) = \frac{sin ( A ) sin ( A )}{sin ( A )}

= \frac{1}{sin ( A )} - \frac{sin ( A ) sin ( A )}{sin ( A )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{1 - sin ( A ) sin ( A )}{sin ( A )}

1 - sin (A) sin (A) = 1 - sin^{2} (A)

1 - sin (A) sin (A)

sin (A) sin (A) = sin^{2} (A)

sin (A) sin (A)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

sin (A) sin (A) = sin^{1 + 1} (A)

= sin^{1 + 1} (A)

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= sin^{2} (A)

= 1 - sin^{2} (A)

= \frac{1 - sin ^{2} ( A )}{sin ( A )}

= \frac{1}{\frac{- s i n ^{2} ( A ) + 1}{s i n ( A )} sin ( A )}

Multiply

sin (A) \frac{1 - sin ^{2} ( A )}{sin ( A )} : 1 - sin^{2} (A)

sin (A) \frac{1 - sin ^{2} ( A )}{sin ( A )}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{( 1 - sin ^{2} ( A ) ) sin ( A )}{sin ( A )}

Cancel the common factor:

sin (A)

= 1 - sin^{2} (A)

= \frac{1}{1 - sin ^{2} ( A )}

= \frac{1}{1 - sin ^{2} ( A )}

= \frac{1}{1 - sin ^{2} ( A )}

Manipulating right side

sec^{2} (A)

Express with sin, cos

sec^{2} (A)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= (\frac{1}{cos ( A )})^{2}

Simplify

(\frac{1}{cos ( A )})^{2} : \frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( A )}

(\frac{1}{cos ( A )})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{1 ^{2}}{cos ^{2} ( A )}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= \frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( A )}

= \frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( A )}

= \frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( A )}

Rewrite using trig identities

\frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( A )}

Use the Pythagorean identity:

cos^{2} (x) + sin^{2} (x) = 1

cos^{2} (x) = 1 - sin^{2} (x)

= \frac{1}{1 - sin ^{2} ( A )}

= \frac{1}{1 - sin ^{2} ( A )}

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
