Show that 1+cot^2(x)=cosec^2(x)

Need to remember that:sin2(x)+cos2(x)=1 (eq.1)Divide the whole eq.1 by sin2(x)to get:sin2(x)/sin2x+cos2(x)/sin2(x)=1 /sin2x Which is the same as:1+cot2x=cosec2x

How do you differentiate y=cox(x)/sin(x)?


Express the following in partial fractions: (1+2x^2)/(3x-2)(x-1)^2


(i) Prove sin(θ)/cos(θ) + cos(θ)/sin(θ) = 2cosec(2θ) , (ii) draw draph of y = 2cosec(2θ) for 0<θ< 360°, (iii) solve to 1 d.p. : sin(θ)/cos(θ) + cos(θ)/sin(θ) = 3.
