Capitolo 6, Problema 5.64

Verify that each equation is an identity.
(csc θ + cot θ)/(tan θ + sin θ) = cot θ csc θ

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Step 1: Start by expressing all trigonometric functions in terms of sine and cosine. Recall that \( \csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} \), \( \cot \theta = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} \), and \( \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \).
Step 2: Substitute these expressions into the left-hand side of the equation: \( \frac{\csc \theta + \cot \theta}{\tan \theta + \sin \theta} = \frac{\frac{1}{\sin \theta} + \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}}{\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} + \sin \theta} \).
Step 3: Simplify the numerator: \( \frac{1 + \cos \theta}{\sin \theta} \). Simplify the denominator: \( \frac{\sin^2 \theta + \sin \theta \cos \theta}{\cos \theta} \).
Step 4: Simplify the entire fraction by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by \( \cos \theta \) to eliminate the complex fraction: \( \frac{(1 + \cos \theta) \cos \theta}{\sin \theta (\sin \theta + \cos \theta)} \).
Step 5: Recognize that the expression simplifies to \( \cot \theta \csc \theta \) by using trigonometric identities and simplification techniques, thus verifying the identity.

Reciprocal Functions

Reciprocal functions in trigonometry include cosecant (csc), secant (sec), and cotangent (cot), which are defined as the reciprocals of sine, cosine, and tangent, respectively. For example, csc θ = 1/sin θ and cot θ = 1/tan θ. Recognizing these relationships is essential for manipulating and simplifying trigonometric expressions.
