Question

Factor and Simplify the expression sin^2x+sin^2xcot^2x

Answer 1

$\bf \textit{Pythagorean Identities} \\\\ sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1 \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ sin^2(x)+sin^2(x)cot^2(x)\implies sin^2(x)+\underline{sin^2(x)}\cdot \cfrac{cos^2(x)}{\underline{sin^2(x)}} \\\\\\ sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)\implies 1$
