1.) To find an expression equivalent to the given expression, we can use trigonometric identities. Let's break down the given expression step by step:
sec(theta) * sin(theta) * cot(theta) * csc(theta)
Using the reciprocal identity, cot(theta) can be rewritten as cos(theta)/sin(theta):
sec(theta) * sin(theta) * (cos(theta)/sin(theta)) * csc(theta)
Next, using the reciprocal identity, csc(theta) can be rewritten as 1/sin(theta):
sec(theta) * sin(theta) * (cos(theta)/sin(theta)) * (1/sin(theta))
Now, cancel out the sin(theta) terms:
sec(theta) * (cos(theta)/1) * (1/sin(theta))
Simplifying further, we get:
sec(theta) * cos(theta) / sin(theta)
Using the quotient identity, we know that sec(theta) = 1/cos(theta):
(1/cos(theta)) * cos(theta) / sin(theta)
Now, cancel out the cos(theta) terms:
1 / sin(theta)
Finally, using the reciprocal identity, sin(theta) = 1/csc(theta):
1 / (1/csc(theta))
This simplifies to:
csc(theta)
Therefore, the expression equivalent to sec(theta) * sin(theta) * cot(theta) * csc(theta) is csc(theta).
Your answer of csc(theta) is correct.
2.) We are given the expression cos(theta) / sin(theta). To find an equivalent expression, we can use the reciprocal identity, sin(theta) = 1/csc(theta):
cos(theta) / (1/csc(theta))
Using the quotient identity, we know that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:
cos(theta) * csc(theta) / 1
Therefore, the expression equivalent to cos(theta) / sin(theta) is cos(theta) * csc(theta).
Your answer of cot(theta) is correct.
3.) We have the expression (tan^2(theta) + 1) / (tan^2(theta)). To simplify this, let's expand the numerator:
tan^2(theta) + 1
Now divide the numerator by the denominator:
(tan^2(theta) + 1) / tan^2(theta)
This simplifies to:
1 / tan^2(theta)
Therefore, the simplified expression is 1 / tan^2(theta).
Your answer of 1 is correct.
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(θ/2) = ±√[(1 - cos θ)/2]
Since we have sin 15°, we can write it as sin(30°/2):
sin(30°/2) = ±√[(1 - cos(30°))/2]
Now, we need to find the value of cos(30°). Using the special triangle (30°-60°-90°), we know that cos(30°) = √(3)/2.
Replacing cos(30°) in the equation, we get:
sin(30°/2) = ±√[(1 - (√3/2))/2]
Simplifying further:
sin(15°) = ±√[(2 - √3)/4]
After rationalizing the denominator, the exact value becomes:
sin(15°) = (√6 - √2)/4
Therefore, the expression equivalent to sin 15° is (√6 - √2)/4.
Your answer (√6 - √2)/4 is correct.
5.) We are looking for an expression equivalent to cos(theta - 2π). To find it, let's use the difference identity for cosine:
cos(alpha - beta) = cos(alpha)cos(beta) + sin(alpha)sin(beta)
In this case, alpha represents theta, and beta represents 2π. Plugging these values into the formula:
cos(theta - 2π) = cos(theta)cos(2π) + sin(theta)sin(2π)
Since cos(2π) = 1 and sin(2π) = 0, the equation becomes:
cos(theta - 2π) = cos(theta)(1) + sin(theta)(0)
Simplifying further:
cos(theta - 2π) = cos(theta)
Therefore, the expression equivalent to cos(theta - 2π) is simply cos(theta).
Your answer of cos(theta) is correct.
