Use identities to write each expression in terms of sin θ and cos θ, and then simplify so that no quotients appear and all functions are of θ only.
csc θ - sin θ

검증된 단계별 안내

Recall that the cosecant function is the reciprocal of the sine function, so we can write \(\csc \theta\) as \(\frac{1}{\sin \theta}\).

Rewrite the expression \(\csc \theta - \sin \theta\) as \(\frac{1}{\sin \theta} - \sin \theta\) to express everything in terms of \(\sin \theta\).

To combine the terms into a single expression without quotients, find a common denominator, which is \(\sin \theta\), and rewrite the expression as \(\frac{1}{\sin \theta} - \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\sin \theta}\).

Combine the fractions over the common denominator: \(\frac{1 - \sin^2 \theta}{\sin \theta}\).

Use the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\) to replace \(1 - \sin^2 \theta\) with \(\cos^2 \theta\), resulting in \(\frac{\cos^2 \theta}{\sin \theta}\). This expression is now in terms of \(\sin \theta\) and \(\cos \theta\) only, with no quotients involving other trigonometric functions.

Reciprocal Identities

Reciprocal identities relate trigonometric functions to each other by expressing one as the reciprocal of another. For example, csc θ is the reciprocal of sin θ, meaning csc θ = 1/sin θ. Understanding these identities allows rewriting expressions to involve only sine and cosine.

Simplifying Trigonometric Expressions

Simplifying trigonometric expressions involves rewriting them to eliminate complex fractions or quotients and combining like terms. This process often uses algebraic manipulation and identities to express the function in a simpler or more standard form, such as removing quotients and using only sin θ and cos θ.

Expressing Functions in Terms of sin θ and cos θ

Many trigonometric functions can be expressed using only sine and cosine, which are the fundamental trigonometric functions. For example, csc θ = 1/sin θ, sec θ = 1/cos θ, and tan θ = sin θ/cos θ. Writing expressions solely in terms of sin θ and cos θ helps in standardizing and simplifying trigonometric problems.
