csc(x)-sin(x)=cot(x)*csc(x)

Solution

csc (x) - sin (x) = cot (x) \cdot csc (x)

Solution

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

csc (x) - sin (x) = cot (x) csc (x)

Subtract

cot (x) csc (x)

from both sides

csc (x) - sin (x) - cot (x) csc (x) = 0

Express with sin, cos

csc (x) - sin (x) - cot (x) csc (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{1}{sin ( x )} - sin (x) - cot (x) \frac{1}{sin ( x )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{1}{sin ( x )} - sin (x) - \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} \cdot \frac{1}{sin ( x )}

Simplify

\frac{1}{sin ( x )} - sin (x) - \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} \cdot \frac{1}{sin ( x )} : \frac{sin ( x ) - sin ^{3} ( x ) - cos ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

\frac{1}{sin ( x )} - sin (x) - \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} \cdot \frac{1}{sin ( x )}

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

\frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} \cdot \frac{1}{sin ( x )}

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Multiply:

cos (x) \cdot 1 = cos (x)

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

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

sin (x) sin (x)

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

= sin^{1 + 1} (x)

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= sin^{2} (x)

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

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

Convert element to fraction:

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

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

Lowest Common Multiplier (LCM)

Compute an expression comprised of factors that appear in at least one of the factored expressions

= sin^{2} (x)

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

sin^{2} (x)

For

\frac{1}{sin ( x )} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

sin (x)

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

For

\frac{sin ( x )}{1} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

sin^{2} (x)

\frac{sin ( x )}{1} = \frac{sin ( x ) sin ^{2} ( x )}{1 \cdot sin ^{2} ( x )} = \frac{sin ^{3} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{sin ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )} - \frac{sin ^{3} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )} - \frac{cos ( 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{sin ( x ) - sin ^{3} ( x ) - cos ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{sin ( x ) - sin ^{3} ( x ) - cos ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

\frac{- cos ( x ) + sin ( x ) - sin ^{3} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

- cos (x) + sin (x) - sin^{3} (x) = 0

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} = a^{2} a^{b - 2}

- cos (x) + sin (x) - sin (x) sin^{2} (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- cos (x) + sin (x) - sin (x) sin^{2} (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Expand

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

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

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = - sin (x), b = 1, c = cos^{2} (x)

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

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a

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

Multiply:

1 \cdot sin (x) = sin (x)

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

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

Add similar elements:

sin (x) - sin (x) = 0

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

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

- cos (x) + cos^{2} (x) sin (x) = 0

Factor

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

- cos (x) + cos^{2} (x) sin (x)

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

= - cos (x) + cos (x) cos (x)

Factor out common term

cos (x)

= cos (x) (- 1 + sin (x) cos (x))

cos (x) (- 1 + sin (x) cos (x)) = 0

Solving each part separately

cos (x) = 0 or - 1 + sin (x) cos (x) = 0

cos (x) = 0 : x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

cos (x) = 0

- 1 + sin (x) cos (x) = 0 :

No Solution

- 1 + sin (x) cos (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 1 + sin (x) cos (x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

2 sin (x) cos (x) = sin (2 x)

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

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

- 1 + \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{2} = 0

Move

1

to the right side

- 1 + \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{2} = 0

Add

1

to both sides

- 1 + \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{2} + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

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

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

Multiply both sides by

2

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

Multiply both sides by

2

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

Simplify

sin (2 x) = 2

sin (2 x) = 2
