Establishing Trig identities
Beantwoord
I have a trig problem that I can't seem to figure out it's cos@(theta)[tan@+cot@]=csc@
I can't get cos@[tan@+cot@] to equal csc@.

I've tried everything I can think of the closest I ever got to the answer is on one of the tries when I went to the x,y,r system and got 1/y.
Here's what I was able to get:
In step 1 I distributed. In step 2 I rewrote both tan and cot in terms of sin and cos. In step 3 I simplified. In step 4 I multiplied both sides by sin in order to get rid of the denominator under cos^2. In step 5 I simplified, and rewrote csc in terms of sin on the right side of the eq. Finally, by the Pythagorean identity, the left side equals 1, while the right side equals 1 as well.
Hope this helps.
