Question #30f23 Trigonometry Trigonometric Identities and Equations Proving Identities 1 Answer salamat Mar 29, 2017 see explanation. Explanation: let we take LHS to prove RHS. #csc x[ csc x + sin (-x)] = 1/sin x[ 1/sin x -sin x]# #=1/sin^2 x - 1 = (1 -sin^2 x)/sin^2 x = cos^2 x / sin^2 x = cot^2 x# Answer link Related questions What does it mean to prove a trigonometric identity?
