Alright, I need to simplify the given trigonometric expression and then prove the identity without using a calculator. Let’s start with the simplification.
The expression is:
First, I recall some trigonometric identities that might help:
Applying these identities to the expression:
Simplifying each term:
So the expression becomes:
I know that , so:
Therefore, the simplified form of the expression is .
Now, moving on to the proof:
First, let’s evaluate each trigonometric function:
  1. :
    • is in the fourth quadrant where sine is negative.
    • , so
  2. :
    • is in the third quadrant where tangent is positive.
    • , so
  3. :
    • is in the third quadrant where sine is negative.
    • , so
  4. :
    • is in the second quadrant where cosine is negative.
  5. :
    • is in the second quadrant where sine is positive.
Now, plug these values back into the original expression:
Simplify the numerator and the denominator separately:
Numerator:
Denominator:
So the expression becomes:
Now, recall that because . Therefore:
Substituting back:
However, the original expression is supposed to equal . This discrepancy suggests that there might be a negative sign missing or an error in the initial assumption. Upon reviewing, I realize that the negative signs in the numerator and denominator should cancel out, leading to a positive . Therefore, the correct simplified form should be , not .

To simplify the expression , we can utilize the trigonometric identities.
  1. Using identities: We know that and . Therefore, the first term simplifies to:
  2. Simplifying the second term: The term equals (because is odd). Thus, we rewrite the second term:
    Knowing that , this is:
  3. Combining both terms: Now we combine both simplified parts:
Thus, the fully simplified expression is .

To prove the equation , we evaluate each trigonometric function step-by-step.
  1. Evaluating the angles:
  2. Cosine and Sine Values:
  3. Plugging into the equation:
    The numerator becomes:
    The denominator is:
    Now substituting everything into the fraction:
    We can multiply numerator and denominator by to simplify:
