Math Problem Statement
Simplify the trigonometric expression below, considering only the values of β for which the expression is defined. cos(β)tan(β)csc(β)cot(β) Remember to put parentheses around the argument of any trigonometric function. can be found under the Greek Letters dropdown on the keypad.
Solution
We aim to simplify the expression .
Step 1: Recall trigonometric identities
- ,
- ,
- .
Substituting these into the expression:
Step 2: Simplify the expression
Cancel terms wherever possible:
- ,
- .
Thus, the expression simplifies to:
