trigonometry - Prove or disprove fracsqrt1+tanxcotx=frac1+sinxcosx



I have tried to prove the identity 1+tanxcotx=1+sinxcosx



by t-substitution but seem not to work. Please don't solve(don`t post the answer on this site) this question for me just try it and give me hints on how I should go about it. Or if you like you can post but I wanted to try using some hints that you would give first.


Answer



If x=π/4 we have: 1+11=2

on the left, but 1+121/2=2+1
on the right.



These are not equivalent.
