Hello, i tried to prove the following trigonometric problem from a textbook but i think the equation doesn't hold. Can anyone confirm it?
So the domain of the angle is 3π/2 < x < 2π , and the equation is:
sqrt((1+cos(x))/(1-cos(x)))+sqrt((1-cos(x))/(1+cos(x))) = -2cot(x)
First I need to work out your backets. Some spacing woud have been nice.
sqrt ( [1+cos(x)] / [1-cos(x)] ) + sqrt( [1-cos(x)] / [1+cos(x)] ) = -2cot(x)
\(\sqrt\frac{1+cos(x)}{1-cos(x)}+\sqrt{\frac{1-cos(x)}{1+cos(x)}} = -2cot(x)\)
Is this what you are asking us to try and prove?
Here are the 2 graphs, you can see that they are not the same. Not even in the given domain.
