Full solution

Q. cotx+sinx1+cosx=cscx: \cot x+\frac{\sin x}{1+\cos x}=\csc x:
  1. Write cotx\cot x in terms: To start, let's write cotx\cot x in terms of sinx\sin x and cosx\cos x.\newlinecotx=cosxsinx\cot x = \frac{\cos x}{\sin x}
  2. Find common denominator: Now, let's focus on the second term (sinx)/(1+cosx)(\sin x)/(1 + \cos x) and find a common denominator with cotx\cot x.\newline(sinx)/(1+cosx)=(sinx)/(1+cosx)(sinx/sinx)(\sin x)/(1 + \cos x) = (\sin x)/(1 + \cos x) \cdot (\sin x/\sin x)
  3. Simplify expression: Simplify the expression by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by sinx\sin x.sinx1+cosx=sin2xsinx(1+cosx)\frac{\sin x}{1 + \cos x} = \frac{\sin^2 x}{\sin x \cdot (1 + \cos x)}
  4. Combine two terms: Combine the two terms cotx\cot x and sinx1+cosx\frac{\sin x}{1 + \cos x}.cotx+sinx1+cosx=cosxsinx+sin2xsinx(1+cosx)\cot x + \frac{\sin x}{1 + \cos x} = \frac{\cos x}{\sin x} + \frac{\sin^2 x}{\sin x \cdot (1 + \cos x)}
  5. Find common denominator: Find a common denominator for the two terms.\newline(cosxsinx)+(sin2xsinx(1+cosx))=(cosx(1+cosx)+sin2xsinx(1+cosx))(\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}) + (\frac{\sin^2 x}{\sin x \cdot (1 + \cos x)}) = (\frac{\cos x \cdot (1 + \cos x) + \sin^2 x}{\sin x \cdot (1 + \cos x)})
  6. Simplify numerator: Simplify the numerator using the Pythagorean identity sin2x+cos2x=1\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1.cosx(1+cosx)+sin2x\cos x \cdot (1 + \cos x) + \sin^2 x = cosx+cos2x+sin2x\cos x + \cos^2 x + \sin^2 x = cosx+1\cos x + 1
