y = -2 - cot x
Added by Daja L.
Step 1
Recall that cot(x) = 1/tan(x) = cos(x)/sin(x). So, y = -2 - cot(x) becomes y = -2 - (cos(x)/sin(x)). Now, we want to express y in terms of sin(x) and cos(x) with a common denominator. To do this, we can multiply -2 by sin(x)/sin(x): y = (-2 * sin(x))/sin(x) - Show more…
