The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement \( \sec \theta \cdot \cot \theta = \csc \theta \) is true or false, we will evaluate the left-hand side (LHS) and see if it equals the right-hand side (RHS). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the LHS:** \[ \text{LHS} = \sec \theta \cdot \cot \theta \] 2. **Substitute the definitions of secant and cotangent:** - Recall that: \[ \sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \] \[ \cot \theta = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} \] - Substitute these into the LHS: \[ \text{LHS} = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \cdot \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} \] 3. **Simplify the expression:** - Multiply the fractions: \[ \text{LHS} = \frac{1 \cdot \cos \theta}{\cos \theta \cdot \sin \theta} = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} \] 4. **Recognize the definition of cosecant:** - We know that: \[ \csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} \] - Therefore, we can write: \[ \text{LHS} = \csc \theta \] 5. **Compare LHS and RHS:** - Since we have shown that: \[ \text{LHS} = \csc \theta \] - The right-hand side (RHS) is also: \[ \text{RHS} = \csc \theta \] 6. **Conclusion:** - Since LHS equals RHS, we conclude that: \[ \sec \theta \cdot \cot \theta = \csc \theta \quad \text{is true.} \] ### Final Answer: **True**
