Directions: Verify the given problems.
1) sin y+ sin y • cot² y = csc y
sin y+ sin y(1+cot² y) = csc y 1) Pythagorean Identity
sin y(csc² y) = csc y
sin y(1/sin² y) = csc y 2)Simplify csc² y to 1/sin² y
1/sin y = csc y
csc y = csc y
✔
2) sin x/1-cos x=1+cos x/sin x
sin x/1-cos² x (1+cos x)/(1+cos x) = RS 1) Multiply by conjugate:
sin x(1+cos x)/1-cos² x = RS 1+cos x
sinx(1+cos x)/sin² x = RS 2) Pythagorean Identity:
1+cos x/sin x = 1+cos x/sin x 1-cos² x= sin² x
✔
(Note: The sine on top cancels one of the sine's on bottom, leaving one sine on bottom.)
