Please help me prove sec x cosec x thank you.

secx * cosecx - cotx =
tanx


We know that:


secx =
1/cosx


csecx = 1/sinx


cot =
cosx/sinx


tanx = sinx/cosx


Now
substitute:


sec x cosec x - cot x = tan x


(1/sinx)*(1/cosx) - (cosx/sinx) =
sinx/cosx


1/sinx*cosx  - cosx/sinx  =
sinx/cosx


(1- cos^2x)/sinx*cosx  =
sin/cos


But we know that: sin^2 x + cos^2x =
1


==> 1-cos^2x = sin^2
x


==> sin^2 x /sin*cos =
sin/cos


==> sinx /cosx =
sinx/cos


==> tanx = tan x

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
