Answer:
As below
Explanation:
Quotient Identities. There are two quotient identities that can be used in right triangle trigonometry.
A quotient identity defines the relations for tangent and cotangent in terms of sine and cosine. ...
.
Remember that the difference between an equation and an identity is that an identity will be true for ALL values.

The reciprocal functions are as follows:
sin(a) * csc(a) = 1 cos(a) * sec(a) = 1 tan(a) * cot(a) = 1
