Prove that: $\cos \left(\frac{3 \pi}{2}+x\right) \cos (2 \pi+x)\left[\cot \left(\frac{3 \pi}{2}-x\right)+\cot (2 \pi+x)\right]=1$

Answer

To prove: $\cos \left(\frac{3 \pi}{2}+x\right) \cos (2 \pi+x)\left[\cot \left(\frac{3 \pi}{2}-x\right)+\cot (2 \pi+x)\right]=1$
Taking L.H.S., we have
LHS = $\cos \left(\frac{3 \pi}{2}+x\right) \cos (2 \pi+x)\left[\cot \left(\frac{3 \pi}{2}-x\right)+\cot (2 \pi+x)\right]$
$\cos \left(n \frac{\pi}{2}+\theta\right)  = \sin \theta$, if $n$ is odd
$\cos \left(n \frac{\pi}{2}+\theta\right)=\cos \theta$ if $n$ is even we know that,
$\cot \left(n \frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right)=\tan \theta$ if $n$ is odd
$\cot \left(n \frac{\pi}{2}+\theta\right)  = \cot  \theta$, if $n$ is even
Therefore, L.H.S becomes,
LHS $= \sin x \cos x [\tan x+\cot x]  = \sin x \cos x  \left[\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}+\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}\right]$
L.H.S $= \sin x. \sin x + \cos x. \cos x$
L.H.S $= \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x$
Since, $\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1$
So, LHS $= 1$
$\therefore$ LHS = RHS
