<span> I am assuming you want to prove:
csc(x)/[1 - cos(x)] = [1 + cos(x)]/sin^3(x).
</span>
<span>If we multiply the LHS by [1 + cos(x)]/[1 + cos(x)], we get:
LHS = csc(x)/[1 - cos(x)]
= {csc(x)[1 + cos(x)]/{[1 + cos(x)][1 - cos(x)]}
= {csc(x)[1 + cos(x)]}/[1 - cos^2(x)], via difference of squares
= {csc(x)[1 + cos(x)]}/sin^2(x), since sin^2(x) = 1 - cos^2(x).
</span>
<span>Then, since csc(x) = 1/sin(x):
LHS = {csc(x)[1 + cos(x)]}/sin^2(x)
= {[1 + cos(x)]/sin(x)}/sin^2(x)
= [1 + cos(x)]/sin^3(x)
= RHS.

<span>I hope this helps! </span>
Okay so I'm going to try and explain it to you as best as possible. So all they are basically telling you is to give it a name. A degree on a polynomial is the highest exponent on it and the number of terms is the number of numbers. For example: -5x^3 + 2x^2 - 7
This is a 3rd degree polynomial with 3 terms. All you have to do is look at the largest exponent and that is your degree and the number of numbers.
