Problem

Write each expression in terms of sine and cosine, and then simplify so that no quotients appear in the final expression and all functions are of θ only.

Answer

Finally, we simplify the expression to get cotθtanθ.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we write each expression in terms of sine and cosine. We have that secθ=1cosθ and cscθ=1sinθ. So, the expression becomes (1cosθ+1sinθ)(cosθsinθ).

Step 2 :Next, we distribute the terms inside the parentheses. This gives us cosθcosθsinθcosθ+cosθsinθsinθsinθ.

Step 3 :Simplifying each term, we get 1tanθ+cotθ1.

Step 4 :Finally, we simplify the expression to get cotθtanθ.
