cscB/sinB - cotB/tanB = 1cscBsinBcotBtanB=1

Use the identities tantheta = sin theta/costhetatanθ=sinθcosθ, cottheta = 1/tantheta = 1/(sin theta/costheta) = costheta/sinthetacotθ=1tanθ=1sinθcosθ=cosθsinθ and csctheta = 1/sinthetacscθ=1sinθ.

=>(1/sinB)/sinB - (cosB/sinB)/(sinB/cosB) = 11sinBsinBcosBsinBsinBcosB=1

=>1/sin^2B - cos^2B/sin^2B = 11sin2Bcos2Bsin2B=1

=> (1- cos^2B)/sin^2B = 11cos2Bsin2B=1

Use the identity cos^2theta + sin^2theta = 1cos2θ+sin2θ=1.

=> sin^2B/sin^2B = 1sin2Bsin2B=1

=> 1 = 11=1

LHS = RHSLHS=RHS

Identity proved!

Hopefully this helps!

cscB/sinB-cotB/tanB=1cscBsinBcotBtanB=1

Use the identity sinB=1/cscBsinB=1cscB

frac(cscB)(1/cscB)-cotB/tanB-1cscB1cscBcotBtanB1

cscB*cscB/1-cotB/tanB=1cscBcscB1cotBtanB=1

csc^2B-cotB/tanB=1csc2BcotBtanB=1

Use the identity tanB=1/cotBtanB=1cotB

csc^2B-frac(cotB)(1/cotB)=1csc2BcotB1cotB=1

csc^2B-cotB*cotB/1=1csc2BcotBcotB1=1

csc^2B-cot^2B=1csc2Bcot2B=1

Use the Pythagorean identity 1+cot^2B=csc^2B1+cot2B=csc2B

1+cot^2B-cot^2B=11+cot2Bcot2B=1

1=11=1

See Below

Explanation:

csc B/ sinB - cot B/ tan B = 1cscBsinBcotBtanB=1

Left Hand Side:

=csc B/ sinB - cot B / tan B=cscBsinBcotBtanB

= csc B*1/sin B - cot B* 1/ tan B=cscB1sinBcotB1tanB

=csc B csc B - cot B cot B=cscBcscBcotBcotB

= csc^2 B - cot^2 B=csc2Bcot2B

=1=1 -->Use the identity cot^2 B +1 = csc^2 Bcot2B+1=csc2B and subtract cot^2 Bcot2B from both sides to isolate 1.

:.= Right Hand Side
