$\frac{\sec (x)}{\csc (x)}$

Step 1

Rewrite

$\csc (x)$ in terms of sines and cosines.

$\frac{\sec (x)}{\frac{1}{\sin (x)}}$

Step 2

Rewrite

$\sec (x)$ in terms of sines and cosines.

$\frac{\frac{1}{\cos (x)}}{\frac{1}{\sin (x)}}$

Step 3

Multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction to divide by

$\frac{1}{\sin (x)}$ .

$\frac{\sin (x)}{\cos (x)}$

Step 4

Convert from

$\frac{\sin (x)}{\cos (x)}$ to

$\tan (x)$ .

$\tan (x)$
