Verify the Identity cos(x)*csc(x)=cot(x)

Problem

cos(x)*csc(x)=cot(x)

Solution

1. Identify the trigonometric identity for the cosecant function.

csc(x)=1/sin(x)

2. Substitute the identity into the left side of the equation.

cos(x)⋅1/sin(x)

3. Multiply the terms to combine them into a single fraction.

cos(x)/sin(x)

4. Apply the quotient identity for the cotangent function.

cos(x)/sin(x)=cot(x)

Final Answer

cos(x)*csc(x)=cot(x)
