Use the basic identities to change the expression to one involving only sines and cosines. Then simplify to a basic trig function.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert all the secants and cosecants to cosine and sine, respectively. Recall that and .

Thus:

Let's do the first part first: (Recall how to divide fractions)

For the second term:

So, all together: (same denominator; combine terms)

Note the numerator; it can be derived from the Pythagorean Identity:

Thus, we can substitute the numerator:

Everything simplifies to 1.

correct me if i am wrong.

p ÷ r = tan(x)

step-by-step explanation:

given that there is a figure below shows a right triangle: a right triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to q units and the length of the legs equal to p units and r units.

graph is missing so i will create the graph as per given information.

the angle between the legs having lengths p units and q units is y degrees. the angle between the legs having lengths r units and q units is x degrees.

now we need to find about what is p ÷ r equal to.

so we can use trigonometric ratio tan(x)=[altitude]/[base] to find the value of p ÷ r, because p is the altitude and r is the base.

p ÷ r=tan(x)

hence final answer is p ÷ r=tan(x).
