Prove cosec2A-cot2A=tanA

Cosec2A - cot2A= tanA
Left hand side=1/sin2A - cos2A/sin2A
=(1- cos2A)/sin2A
=(1-(1- 2 sin^2⁡ A)/ 2sinAcosA
=(1-1 + ( 2 sin^2⁡ A))/ 2sinAcosA
=sinA/cosA
=tanA
Therefore left hand side of the equation is equal to the right hand side as proved above.

Why is my answer incorrect?


Why do you not add the 'plus c' when finding the area under a graph using integration even though you add it when normally integrating?


differentiate: y^2 + 3xy + x + y = 8


How do I remember the common values of cosx, sinx and tanx?
