Which of the following is cotangent of theta secant of theta in simplified form?
Answer
A
negative 1
B
1
C
tangent theta
D
cosecant theta
Explanation
Use cotangent θ = cos θ / sin θ and secant θ = 1 / cos θ. Their product is (cos θ / sin θ)(1 / cos θ) = 1 / sin θ, which is cosecant θ, so the answer is C, cosecant theta.
