cscB/sinB - cotB/tanB = 1

Use the identities tantheta = sin theta/costheta, cottheta = 1/tantheta = 1/(sin theta/costheta) = costheta/sintheta and csctheta = 1/sintheta.

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

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

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

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

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

=> 1 = 1

LHS = RHS

Identity proved!

Hopefully this helps!

cscB/sinB-cotB/tanB=1

Use the identity sinB=1/cscB

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

cscB*cscB/1-cotB/tanB=1

csc^2B-cotB/tanB=1

Use the identity tanB=1/cotB

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

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

csc^2B-cot^2B=1

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

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

1=1

See Below

Explanation:

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

Left Hand Side:

=csc B/ sinB - cot B / tan B

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

=csc B csc B - cot B cot B

= csc^2 B - cot^2 B

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

:.= Right Hand Side
