cos(tan + cot) = csc

only simplify one side to equal csc

so far I got this far:
[((cos)(sin))/(cos)] + [((cos)(cos))/(sin)] = csc

I don't know what to do next

then on the left..

sin+cos^2/sin=sin+(1-sin^2)sin=sin+csc-sin=csc

You will need a common denominator of sinxcosx in your fraction to get

LS = cosx(sin^2x /(sinxcosx) + cos^2x/(sinxcosx))
= cosx (sin^2x + cos^2x)/(sinxcosx)
= cosx(1)/(sinxcosx)
= 1/sinx
= cscx

BTW you cannot just use the operators, there has to be some "angle" after it

e.g. to say tan = sin/cos is not acceptable and mathematical gibberish.

To simplify the left side of the equation, cos(tan + cot), we need to use trigonometric identities. In this case, we can use the identity:

tanθ = sinθ/cosθ

cotθ = cosθ/sinθ

Using these identities, we can simplify the left side of the equation step by step:

cos(tan + cot)

cos(tan) * cos(cot) - sin(tan) * sin(cot) <-- Using the identity: cos(A + B) = cos(A) * cos(B) - sin(A) * sin(B)

[cos(sin/cos)] * cos[(cos/sin)] - sin(sin/cos) * sin[(cos/sin)] <-- Substituting the identities

(cos(sin) * cos(cos)) / (cos^2) - sin(sin) * sin(cos) / (sin^2) <-- Simplifying

[cos(sin) * cos(cos)] / (cos^2) - sin(sin) * sin(cos) / (1 - cos^2) <-- Substituting the identity: 1 - sin^2 = cos^2

Now, let's simplify further:

[(cos * cos) / cos^2] - [sin * sin * cos / (1 - cos^2)]

[(cos * cos) / cos^2] - [sin * sin * cos / (1 - cos^2)]

Simplifying the expression:

1 - [sin * sin * cos / (1 - cos^2)] <-- Using the identity: cos^2 + sin^2 = 1

1 - [sin^2 * cos / (1 - cos^2)]

1 - [(1 - cos^2) * cos / (1 - cos^2)] <-- Using the identity: sin^2 = 1 - cos^2

1 - [cos - cos^3 / (1 - cos^2)]

1 - cos + cos^3 / (1 - cos^2)

So, the left side of the equation simplifies to:

1 - cos + cos^3 / (1 - cos^2)

Note that we have not yet reached the simplified form of csc. We may need to continue simplifying using additional trigonometric identities or calculus techniques.
