Part 1
Choose the correct answer below.
Solution
To simplify the expression
we'll start by expressing each trigonometric function in terms of sine and cosine.
Step 1: Rewrite each trigonometric function
- Cosecant:
- Tangent:
- Secant:
Step 2: Substitute these into the expression
Substituting these into the original expression gives:
Step 3: Simplify the expression
Now, simplify each part:
[ = \frac{\frac{\sin \beta}{\sin \beta \cdot \cos \beta}}{\frac{1}{\cos \beta}} = \cos
