Step-by-step explanation:
1 / (sin 10°) − √3 / (cos 10°)
<em>Multiply top and bottom of the first fraction by ½ cos 10°.</em>
½ cos 10° / (½ cos 10° sin 10°) − √3 / (cos 10°)
<em>Multiply top and bottom of the second fraction by ½ sin 10°.</em>
½ cos 10° / (½ cos 10° sin 10°) − ½√3 sin 10° / (½ sin 10° cos 10°)
<em>Combine fractions.</em>
(½ cos 10° − ½√3 sin 10°) / (½ sin 10° cos 10°)
<em>Change ½ to sin 30°, and change ½√3 to cos 30°.</em>
(sin 30° cos 10° − cos 30° sin 10°) / (½ sin 10° cos 10°)
<em>Use angle sum formula.</em>
sin(30° − 10°) / (½ sin 10° cos 10°)
sin 20° / (½ sin 10° cos 10°)
<em>Multiply top and bottom by 4.</em>
4 sin 20° / (2 sin 10° cos 10°)
<em>Use double angle formula.</em>
4 sin 20° / sin 20°
