prove (1+cot^2(x))= 1/(sin^2(x))

prove

(1 + cot^{2} (x)) = \frac{1}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

True

Solution steps

1 + cot^{2} (x) = \frac{1}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Manipulating left side

1 + cot^{2} (x)

Express with sin, cos

1 + cot^{2} (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

cot (x) = \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )}

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

Simplify

1 + (\frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )})^{2} : \frac{sin ^{2} ( x ) + cos ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

1 + (\frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 sin ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

Multiply:

1 \cdot sin^{2} (x) = sin^{2} (x)

= \frac{sin ^{2} ( x ) + cos ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{sin ^{2} ( x ) + cos ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Rewrite using trig identities

\frac{cos ^{2} ( x ) + sin ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

= \frac{1}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{1}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True

p ro v e sin (x) (1 + csc (x)) = 1 + sin (x)

p ro v e (sec^{2} (θ) - 1) (sin^{2} (θ) - 1) = - sin^{2} (θ)

p ro v e csc (θ) = \frac{tan ( θ ) cot ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

p ro v e cot^{2} (x) - cos^{2} (x) = cot^{2} (x) cot (x)

p ro v e cos (θ) = - \frac{3}{4}
