Homework Help Forum: trig

Posted by Chris on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 10:08pm.

I need HELP Verify the identity
Cot3X/CSCX=cosX(csc2X-1)

  • trig - Reiny, Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 11:28pm

    testing if x = 20º
    LS = cot60/csc20
    = sin20/tan60 = .1975
    RS = cos20(1/sin40 - 1)
    = .5222

    Your equation is NOT an identity.

    A check should always be your first step when proving complicated-looking trig "identities".
