To prove the given equation, we start by simplifying the left-hand side:
-
Combine the terms:
cos2θsinθ⋅cosθ+cos2θ.
-
Now, replace sin2θ using the double angle identity:
sin2θ=2sinθcosθ.
-
The left-hand side then becomes:
cos2θ2sinθcosθ=cos2θsin2θ.
-
Recognizing that csc2θ=sin2θ1, we rewrite the equation to reach the conclusion:
=2csc2θ.
Thus, we have proved the identity.

When sketching the graph of y=2csc(2θ):
- Identify asymptotes where sin(2θ)=0, which occurs at multiples of 90∘, specifically at 90∘, 270∘, etc.
- The function has maximum and minimum values of 2 and −2, respectively, at the points in between the asymptotes.
- Ensure the sketch properly represents the periodic nature of the cosecant function, reflecting the values at calculated points.
Solve, for $0^{\circ} < \theta < 360^{\circ}$, the equation
$$\frac{\sin \theta \cdot \cos \theta}{\cos^2 \theta \cdot \sin \theta} = 3,$$

To solve the equation:
- Simplify it to:
sinθ=3cos2θ.
- Substitute sinθ with 1−cos2θ and rearrange.
- This leads to:
cos2θ=31.
- Hence, calculate:
θ=180∘−cos−1(31) and
θ=180∘+cos−1(31).
- Solve these equations to find the two angles and round to one decimal place.
