Question

Verify the following identity: sinx+cosx×cotx=cscx​

Answer 1

Left Hand Side :
sin
x
+
cos
x
cot
x
We know that
cot
x
=
cos
x
sin
x
Therefore
sin

cos
x
cot
x
=
sin
x
+
cos
x
⋅
(
cos

)
=
sin
x
+
cos
2

x
+
cos
2
x
=

sin
x
=
csc
x
(Because Cosecant is the reciprocal of Sine)
Hence Proved.
