Solution

Let's examine the given expression again and simplify it step by step:

sin(180+θ)+cos(180θ)+csc(90θ)tan(180θ)tan(90θ)\frac{\sin(180^\circ + \theta) + \cos(180^\circ - \theta) + \csc(90^\circ - \theta)}{\tan(180^\circ - \theta) \cdot \tan(90^\circ - \theta)}

Using the trigonometric identities, we have:

  1. sin(180+θ)=sin(θ)\sin(180^\circ + \theta) = -\sin(\theta)
  2. cos(180θ)=cos(θ)\cos(180^\circ - \theta) = -\cos(\theta)
  3. csc(90θ)=sec(θ)\csc(90^\circ - \theta) = \sec(\theta)
  4. tan(180θ)=tan(θ)\tan(180^\circ - \theta) = -\tan(\theta)
  5. tan(90θ)=cot(θ)\tan(90^\circ - \theta) = \cot(\theta)

Now substitute these identities into the expression:

sin(θ)cos(θ)+sec(θ)tan(θ)cot(θ)\frac{-\sin(\theta) - \cos(\theta) + \sec(\theta)}{-\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta)}

Simplify the denominator:

tan(θ)cot(θ)=tan(θ)1tan(θ)=1-\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) = -\tan(\theta) \cdot \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)} = -1

So, the expression becomes:

sin(θ)cos(θ)+sec(θ)1\frac{-\sin(\theta) - \cos(\theta) + \sec(\theta)}{-1}

Removing the negative sign in the denominator:

sin(θ)+cos(θ)sec(θ)\sin(\theta) + \cos(\theta) - \sec(\theta)

Thus, the simplified form of the given expression is:

sin(θ)+cos(θ)sec(θ)\sin(\theta) + \cos(\theta) - \sec(\theta)
