I have $\frac{sec\theta}{tan\theta}$. How can I simplify it to get $\csc\left({\theta}\right)$ ?
The expression $\frac{\sec\theta}{\tan\theta}$ simplifies directly to $\csc(\theta)$ by converting secant and tangent into sine and cosine functions. Specifically, $\frac{\sec(\theta)}{\tan(\theta)}$ is rewritten as $\frac{\frac{1}{\cos(\theta)}}{\frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}}$, which simplifies to $\frac{1}{\sin(\theta)}$, yielding $\csc(\theta)$. This simplification is valid under the conditions that $\sin(\theta) \neq 0$ and $\cos(\theta) \neq 0.
