Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
sin x 1
------------------- = -----------
sec^2 x - tan ^2 x csc x
Sec = 1/cos and tan = sin/cos
sin x 1
------------------- = -----------
1/ cos ^2 x -sin^2/cos ^2 x csc x
Factor the denominator
sin x 1
------------------- = -----------
(1-sin^2 x)/ cos ^2 x csc x
We know that 1 - sin^2 x = cos ^2
sin x 1
------------------- = -----------
(cos^2 x)/ cos ^2 x csc x
sin x 1
------------------- = -----------
1 csc x
Multiply the top and bottom of the left hand side by 1/ sin x
sin x * 1/ sin x 1
------------------- = -----------
1 * 1 sin x csc x
1 1
------------------- = -----------
1 sin x csc x
We know that 1/sin x = csc
1 1
--------- = -----------
csc (x) csc x
