Verifying a trig identity

[Snowyace]

I need help with verifying this identity

tan ? + csc ? = sec ?csc ?

I changed them to

sin ?/cos ? + 1/sin ? =

then I got them both to have acommon denominator by cross multiplying

then I got stuck because of the sin^2 ?

could you please direct me further

Hi Snowyace!

Are you sure that wrote down correcgtly the problem? i have been working a while on it and I do not find that the identity is true. Please let me know,

The problem AS STATED is NOT an identity...perhaps you typed it incorrectly?

tan theta + cot theta = sec theta * csc theta IS an identity and is easily verified.

I did type it incorrectly the csc theta was a cot theta on the left side

I solved it

I need help with another one I got stuck on

csc^2x sec x = sec x + csc x + cot x

csc^2x sec x = sec x + csc x + cot x This is not an identity.

I suggest that you always proofread what you've typed before posting it.
