Find the Domain sec(x)cot(x)=csc(x)
Problem
Solution
Identify the individual functions in the equation. The equation involves
sec(x) cot(x) andcsc(x) Determine the constraints for
sec(x) Sincesec(x)=1/cos(x) the function is undefined whencos(x)=0 This occurs atx=π/2+n*π for any integern Determine the constraints for
cot(x) Sincecot(x)=cos(x)/sin(x) the function is undefined whensin(x)=0 This occurs atx=n*π for any integern Determine the constraints for
csc(x) Sincecsc(x)=1/sin(x) the function is undefined whensin(x)=0 This occurs atx=n*π for any integern Combine all restrictions. The domain must exclude values where
sin(x)=0 orcos(x)=0 These combined points arex=(n*π)/2 for any integern
