simplify the following 3 solutions
1a. sin x * (csc x - sin x)
1b. cot^2 x - csc^2 x
1c. (5-5sin x) (3+3sin x)
Solution
1a sinx (cscx -sinx)
we know cscx = 1/sinx
So,sinx (cscx -sinx) = sinx*1/sinx - sinx*sinx
= 1 - sin^2x
= cos^2x
b) cot^2x - csc^2x
we know cotx = cosx/sinx and cscx = 1/sinx
So, cot^2x - csc^2x = cos^2x/sin^2x - 1/sin^2x
= (cos^2x -1)/sin^2x
= -sin^2x/sin^2x
= -1
1c. (5-5sin x) (3+3sin x)
expand the bracket terms:
15 +15sinx -15sinx -15sin^2x
15 -15sin^2x
15( 1 -sin^2x)
15cos^2x
