In Example 4, change the right side to tan x/sec x .


Data from Example 4

In proving the identity

sin.x COS X cotx


we know that cot x = cos x/ sin x. Because sin x appears on the left, substituting for cot x on the right will eliminate cot x and introduce sin x. This should help us proceed in proving the identity. Thus, starting with the right-hand side, we have  


By showing that the right side may be changed exactly to sin x, the expression on the left side, we have proved the identity.

sin.x COS X cotx
