Question

Simplify tana+cota help asap

Answer 1

Using trigonometric ratios, tan a + cot a = (cos a + sin a) / sin a * cos a

Trigonometric Ratio

The six trigonometric ratios are sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot), cosecant (cosec), and secant (sec). In geometry, trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the sides and angles of a right-angled triangle. Therefore, trigonometric ratios are evaluated with respect to sides and angles.

In the question given, the trig ratio is

tan a + cot a

We can simplify this as

tan a = sin a / cos a

cot a = 1 / tan a = 1 / sin a / cos a = cos a / sin a

Adding both ratios together

tan a + cot a = (sin a / cos a) + (cos a / sin a)

tan a + cot a = (cos a + sin a) / sin a * cos a
