Use the fundamental identities to simplify the expression.
csc Q / sec Q
so this would be 1/sinx / 1/cosx
and then 1/sinx times cosx/1 = sin x cosx
Is this correct so far? If it is I do not know what to do next.
See answer higher up.
You're on the right track, but let's go through the simplification step by step.
First, let's rewrite the expression using the reciprocal identities:
csc(Q) / sec(Q) = 1/sin(Q) / 1/cos(Q)
Next, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator by the reciprocal of the denominator:
(1/sin(Q)) * (cos(Q)/1)
Now, we can simplify the expression:
1/sin(Q) * cos(Q) = (1 * cos(Q)) / sin(Q) = cos(Q) / sin(Q)
Finally, we can use the Quotient Identity to simplify further:
cos(Q) / sin(Q) = cot(Q)
Therefore, the expression csc(Q) / sec(Q) simplifies to cot(Q).
