the ones with ~ are my answers!

1), 3) check your algebra

4) I'm not sure where you went wrong on this one. However, sqrt(6)-sqrt(2)/4 is greater than 1 (2.0959 in fact)

2), 5) are correct

1)

secØ sinØ cotØ cscØ
= (1/cosØ)(sinØ)(cosØ/sinØ)(1/sinØ)
= 1/sinØ
= cscØ

find an expression equivalent: sec θ - sin θ tan θ=

Math

Great job! Your answers for questions 1, 2, 3, and 5 are correct. Let me explain how to arrive at the correct answer for each question:

1) To find an expression equivalent to sec(theta) * sin(theta) * cot(theta) * csc(theta), we can simplify the expression using trigonometric identities. Notice that sec(theta) is the reciprocal of cos(theta), cot(theta) is the reciprocal of tan(theta), and csc(theta) is the reciprocal of sin(theta):

sec(theta) * sin(theta) * cot(theta) * csc(theta)
= (1/cos(theta)) * sin(theta) * (1/tan(theta)) * (1/sin(theta))
= (sin(theta) / cos(theta)) * (1 / (sin(theta) / cos(theta)))
= sin(theta) / cos(theta) * cos(theta) / sin(theta)
= sin(theta) / sin(theta)
= 1

Therefore, the equivalent expression is 1.

2) The expression cos(theta) / sin(theta) represents the ratio of the cosine of theta to the sine of theta. To simplify this expression, we can use the reciprocal and quotient identities:

cos(theta) / sin(theta)
= (1/sin(theta)) * cos(theta)
= cot(theta)

Therefore, the equivalent expression is cot(theta).

3) For this question, we are asked to simplify the expression (tan^2(theta) + 1) / tan^2(theta). We can start by expanding the numerator:

(tan^2(theta) + 1) / tan^2(theta)
= tan^2(theta) / tan^2(theta) + 1 / tan^2(theta)
= 1 + 1 / tan^2(theta)
= 1 + cot^2(theta)

Therefore, the simplified expression is 1 + cot^2(theta).

4) To find the exact value of sin(15°) using a sum or difference identity, we can use the half-angle identity for sine:

sin(theta/2) = ± sqrt((1 - cos(theta)) / 2)

In this case, we want to find sin(15°), so we can rewrite it as sin(30°/2). Plugging this into the half-angle identity, we get:

sin(15°) = ± sqrt((1 - cos(30°)) / 2)
= ± sqrt((1 - sqrt(3)/2) / 2)
= ± sqrt((2 - sqrt(3)) / 4)

The exact value can be simplified further to:

= (sqrt(6) - sqrt(2)) / 4

Therefore, the correct expression is (sqrt(6) - sqrt(2)) / 4.

5) The expression cos(theta - 2pi) represents the cosine of the angle (theta - 2pi). Since cosine has a period of 2pi, if we subtract 2pi from any angle, we end up with the same angle. Therefore, cos(theta - 2pi) is equivalent to cos(theta).

Therefore, the equivalent expression is cos(theta).

Well done on your answers! Keep up the good work!

is 3 -1?

and im not sure what i did on number 1 ? please explain.
