Let's start out by tripling the original recipe to see how much butter Angie needs.

\frac{3}{4} * 3 = total
\frac{3* 3}{4} = total
\frac{9}{4} = total
2 \frac{1}{4} = total

So we need 2 \frac{1}{4} cups of butter, but Angie only has 1 \frac{5}{8}. Let's subtract what Angie has from the total to see how much more she needs.

2 \frac{1}{4}  -  1\frac{5}{8} = n
\frac{9}{4} - \frac{13}{8} = n
we will need the least common denominator for both fractions
\frac{2}{2} *(\frac{9}{4}) - \frac{13}{8} = n
\frac{18}{8} - \frac{13}{8} = n
\frac{5}{8} = n

So Angie need \frac{5}{8} cups more of butter for the recipe.

Rewriting the left hand side,

csc²t - cost sec t

= (1/sin²t)-(cost)(1/cost)

= 1/sin²t - 1

= 1/sin²t - sin²t/sin²t

= (1-sin²t)/sin²t

= cos²t/sin²t

= cot²t
