Simplify cot x ā€“ csc x cos x.1) cot x csc x ā€“ cot x cos x2) 03) 2 cot x4) 1

Answer :

ANSWER

[tex]2)0[/tex]

EXPLANATION

We want to simplify the trigonometric expression:

[tex]\cot x-\csc x\cos x[/tex]

According to trigonometric ratios, we have that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \cdot\cot x=\frac{1}{\tan x}=\frac{1}{\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}}=\frac{\cos x}{\sin x} \\ \cdot\csc x=\frac{1}{\sin x} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substitute those into the expression given:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\cos x}{\sin x}-(\frac{1}{\sin x})\cos x \\ \Rightarrow\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}-\frac{\cos x}{\sin x} \\ \Rightarrow0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The answer is option 2.
