Math Problem Statement

1/cos ÷1/sin

Solution

To simplify the expression 1cosθ÷1sinθ\frac{1}{\cos \theta} \div \frac{1}{\sin \theta}, we can follow these steps:

  1. Rewrite the division as multiplication: 1cosθ÷1sinθ=1cosθ×sinθ1\frac{1}{\cos \theta} \div \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \times \frac{\sin \theta}{1}

  2. Simplify the expression: sinθcosθ\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}

  3. Recognize the trigonometric identity: sinθcosθ=tanθ\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \tan \theta

So, the simplified expression is tanθ\tan \theta.
