Write the expression in terms of sines and cosines and simplify so the answer is NOT a quotient. Select the expression that completes the identity sec alpha - cos alpha = cos^2 alpha sin alpha middot tan alpha cot^2 alpha middot cos^2 alpha 1 - cos^2 alpha 1 sin^2 alpha
Solution
sec -cos
write sec as 1/cos
=(1/cos) -cos
=(1-cos2)/cos
[since sin2+cos2=1 is identity =>1-cos2=sin2]
=[sin2]/[cos]
=(sinsin)/cos
=sin(sin/cos)
=sin.tan
