Hi, I have a question about a problem:

1/2csc(THETA)sec(THETA)

I have to find the identity for it and I know that csc is 1/sin and sec is 1/cos but after that I don't see where it can lead to a simple answer. If anyone knows it would be helpful, thanks!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x)
 
it should simpify to sin(2x)/4
