prove that tg(x) + ctg(x) = 2 cosec(2x)

First, we know that


cosec x = 1/sin x, so that cosec (2x) = 1/sin2x


We'll re-write the equation:


tg(x) + ctg(x) = 2/sin2x


We'll divide by 2 both sides:


[tg(x) + ctg(x)]/2 = 1/sin2x


But ctg x = 1/tg x


So, tg(x) + ctg(x)  = tg x + 1/tg x


We'll find the common denominator and we'll add:


tg(x) + ctg(x) = [(tg x)^2 + 1]/tgx


But (tg x)^2 + 1 = 1/(cosx)^2


[(tg x)^2 + 1]/tgx = 1/(tg x)*(cosx)^2


1/(tg x)*(cosx)^2 = cos x/(sin x)*(cos x)^2


After reducing similar terms, we'll get:


cos x/(sin x)*(cos x)^2 = 1/sin x * cos x


[tg(x) + ctg(x)]/2 = 1/2*sin x * cos x = 1/sin 2x


But, from enunciation, [tg(x) + ctg(x)]/2 = 1/sin2x, so the result is verified.

How far is Iago justified in hating Othello?

Iago hates Othello for some of reasons. First reason could be that Othello promoted Cassio in his place; however, Iago wants it and he cosid...
