cot (x) + \frac{1}{cot (x)}

$\cot (x) + \frac{1}{\cot (x)}$

Step 1

Rewrite

cot (x)

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

cot (x) + \frac{1}{\frac{cos (x)}{sin (x)}}

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

Step 2

Multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction to divide by

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

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

cot (x) + \frac{sin (x)}{cos (x)}

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

Step 3

Convert from

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

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

tan (x)

$\tan (x)$ .

cot (x) + tan (x)

$\cot (x) + \tan (x)$
