ive been tryin to understand identity but i cant seem to get all the way through a problem my teacher just kind of expects everyone to know since a few kids in our clas actualy get the work.....any help will be greatly apriciated

I'm sorry, but we cannot teach courses here.

Please post the full and exact text of the exercise with which you are having difficulty, the complete instructions, and a clear listing of all of the steps and reasoning you have tried thus far.

Thank you.

...

this is one that i cant get though i keep tryin all the substitution that my teacher said i should do but truth is i dont know were to substitute it.

1/sin theta(1+sin theta) = 1+ 1/sin theta

i cant prove the equation...

Which ones were those?

You would substitute into the given equation.

1/sin theta(1+sin theta) = 1+ 1/sin theta
I'm sorry, but your formatting is ambiguous. Do you mean the following?

. . . . .\(\displaystyle \large{\frac{1}{\sin{(\theta)}(1\,+\,\sin{(\theta)})} \,=\,1\,+\,\frac{1}{\sin{(\theta)}}}\)

If so, then the "identity" isn't true.

...

well id ont knwo how to format it on here the way u do but no that not it the equation is


1/sin theta (1+sin theta)= 1 + 1/sin theta[/code]



the (1+sin theta) is beside the 1/sin theta not under
 
You seem to be saying it is the same as
(1+sin(theta))/sin(theta)=1+1/sin(theta)
If that is correct you don't need any thing but algebra.
(1+x)/x = 1+1/x
