First solve for the trig function 'cot'

Next take the sqrt of both sides (include plus/minus)

Now take reciprocal of both sides, this will change trig function to 'tan'
(cot = 1/tan)

Finally use the unit circle or inverse tan on your calculator to find x.
There will be 4 solutions, one for each quadrant.
<h3>Original Equation:</h3>

<h3>Steps:</h3>
<em>*To solve for a variable, isolate the desired variable onto one side.</em>
Firstly, we want to add 1/3 to each side however -5/6 and 1/3 do not share the same denominator, and we want them to have that and we can do that by finding the LCD, or lowest common denominator. To find the LCD, list the multiples of 6 and 3 and the lowest multiple that they share is their LCD. In this case, their LCD is 6. Multiply -1/3 by 2/2:

Now that we have common denominators, add both sides by 2/6:

Next, you want to cancel out 2 to isolate z. Usually, one would divide both sides by 2, however remember that <u>dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by it's reciprocal.</u> To find a number's reciprocal, flip the numerator and denominator around. In this case, since 2 is a <em>whole number</em> this means that the denominator is 1. In this case: 2/1 would become 1/2. Multiply both sides by 1/2:

<h3>Final Answer:</h3>
<u>Your final answer is z = -1/4.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:
sin x 1
------------------- = -----------
sec^2 x - tan ^2 x csc x
Sec = 1/cos and tan = sin/cos
sin x 1
------------------- = -----------
1/ cos ^2 x -sin^2/cos ^2 x csc x
Factor the denominator
sin x 1
------------------- = -----------
(1-sin^2 x)/ cos ^2 x csc x
We know that 1 - sin^2 x = cos ^2
sin x 1
------------------- = -----------
(cos^2 x)/ cos ^2 x csc x
sin x 1
------------------- = -----------
1 csc x
Multiply the top and bottom of the left hand side by 1/ sin x
sin x * 1/ sin x 1
------------------- = -----------
1 * 1 sin x csc x
1 1
------------------- = -----------
1 sin x csc x
We know that 1/sin x = csc
1 1
--------- = -----------
csc (x) csc x
