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.
close, but
(1/sinx) times (cosx/1)
= cosx/sinx
= cot x
Yes, you are correct so far. You simplified the expression as sin(Q) * cos(Q).
To further simplify the expression, you can use the double angle identity for sine:
sin(2Q) = 2sin(Q)cos(Q)
Using this identity, we can rewrite sin(Q) * cos(Q) as:
sin(2Q) / 2
Therefore, the simplified expression is sin(2Q) / 2.
