Math Problem Statement

simplify coth(x)+coth(x)csc^2(x)

Solution

We are tasked with simplifying the expression:

coth(x)+coth(x)csc2(x)\coth(x) + \coth(x) \csc^2(x)

Step 1: Factor coth(x)\coth(x)

We can factor out coth(x)\coth(x) from both terms:

coth(x)+coth(x)csc2(x)=coth(x)(1+csc2(x))\coth(x) + \coth(x) \csc^2(x) = \coth(x) \left(1 + \csc^2(x)\right)

Step 2: Use a known identity

Recall that coth(x)\coth(x) is defined as:

coth(x)=cosh(x)sinh(x)\coth(x) = \frac{\cosh(x)}{\sinh(x)}

and csc(x)\csc(x) is related to sine:

csc(x)=1sin(x)\csc(x) = \frac{1}{\sin(x)}

However, since there is no direct identity involving both coth and csc2(x)\csc^2(x) that simplifies further in this form, the expression is already factored and simplified.

Thus, the simplified form of the given expression is:

coth(x)(1+csc2(x))\boxed{\coth(x) \left(1 + \csc^2(x)\right)}
