(cos x)/(sin x) xx sinx

= cosx

Explanation:

All of the 6 trig ratios can be expressed in terms of sin theta and / or cos theta

tan theta = (sin theta)/(cos theta) " "(o/h)/(a/h) = (o xxh)/(axxh) = o/a

cot theta = 1/(tan theta) = (cos theta)/(sin theta)

sec theta = 1/(cos theta)

cosec theta =1/(sin theta)

cotx xxsinx

= (cos x)/cancel(sin x) xxcancel sinx

= cosx
