Hello there fellow students. Before starting the problem there are a few things you must be aware about. First of all, make sure not to solve this problem straight using trigonometry. We will be using identities for this problem, including: reciprocal identities, ratio identities, and Pythagorean identities. Secondly, solving identities are much easier than we think of them to be. Make sure to look at the clues to help you solve for the problem. Lastly, make sure when rationalizing to be careful what you are multiplying and always look for simplification. Other than that, relax, enjoy and solve your life away!
