Step 1
First, we need to recall the definitions of csc and cot functions: csc@ = 1/sin@ cot@ = cos@/sin@ Now, we can substitute the definition of cot@ into the expression: csc@ cot0 = csc@ (cos0/sin0) Show more…

Verify the identity. Assume that all quantities are defined. csc(θ) / (1 + cot^2(θ)) = sin(θ) We begin by writing the above left side in terms of csc(θ) using the Pythagorean Identity. We can then simplify the fraction, and rewrite in terms of sin(θ). csc(θ) / (1 + cot^2(θ)) = csc(θ) / ([ ])^2 = 1 / [ ] = sin(θ) Because we have succeeded in transforming the left side into the right side, we have verified that the statement csc(θ) / (1 + cot^2(θ)) = sin(θ) is an identity.
