Answer

The final simplified expression with no quotients and all functions of θ only is cos2(θ).

Steps

Step 1 :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.

Step 2 :Given expression: csc2(θ)11cos2(θ)

Step 3 :Convert the given expression into terms of sine and cosine. The cosecant function is the reciprocal of the sine function, so csc2(θ) can be written as 1sin2(θ). The denominator 1cos2(θ) is equivalent to sin2(θ) by the Pythagorean identity. Therefore, the expression can be simplified to 1sin2(θ)1 divided by sin2(θ).

Step 4 :Simplify the expression to cos2(θ)sin4(θ). However, this expression still contains a quotient.

Step 5 :To remove the quotient, we can multiply the numerator and the denominator by sin4(θ), which gives cos2(θ).

Step 6 :The final simplified expression with no quotients and all functions of θ only is cos2(θ).
