The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \( \sec(90^\circ - A) - \cot A \cdot \cos(90^\circ - A) \cdot \tan(90^\circ - A) \), we will use trigonometric identities. ### Step 1: Rewrite the trigonometric functions Using the co-function identities: - \( \sec(90^\circ - A) = \csc A \) - \( \cos(90^\circ - A) = \sin A \) - \( \tan(90^\circ - A) = \cot A \) Substituting these into the expression gives: \[ \sec(90^\circ - A) - \cot A \cdot \cos(90^\circ - A) \cdot \tan(90^\circ - A) = \csc A - \cot A \cdot \sin A \cdot \cot A \] ### Step 2: Simplify the expression Now, simplify the term \( \cot A \cdot \sin A \cdot \cot A \): \[ \cot A = \frac{\cos A}{\sin A} \] Thus, \[ \cot A \cdot \sin A \cdot \cot A = \frac{\cos A}{\sin A} \cdot \sin A \cdot \frac{\cos A}{\sin A} = \frac{\cos^2 A}{\sin A} \] Now, substituting this back into the expression: \[ \csc A - \frac{\cos^2 A}{\sin A} \] ### Step 3: Rewrite \(\csc A\) Recall that \( \csc A = \frac{1}{\sin A} \). Therefore, we can rewrite the expression: \[ \frac{1}{\sin A} - \frac{\cos^2 A}{\sin A} \] ### Step 4: Combine the fractions Since both terms have the same denominator, we can combine them: \[ \frac{1 - \cos^2 A}{\sin A} \] ### Step 5: Use the Pythagorean identity Using the identity \( \sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1 \), we know that: \[ 1 - \cos^2 A = \sin^2 A \] Thus, we can substitute: \[ \frac{\sin^2 A}{\sin A} = \sin A \] ### Final Answer The value of the expression is: \[ \sin A \]
