cscθsecθ, we'll use trigonometric identities step by step.
Start with the given expression:
sin

Find a common denominator:
To combine these fractions, we need a common denominator. The common denominator here is
sin

Apply the Pythagorean identity:
Recall that

θ=1. Substitute this identity into the expression:
1
sin
cos
sinθcosθ

Express in terms of cosecant and secant:
Now, rewrite
1
sin
cos
sinθcosθ

using the identities:
1
sin

=
csc
sec
sinθcosθ

=cscθsecθ
Therefore, we have shown that:
sin

=cscθsecθ
This completes the transformation using trigonometric identities.:
