About This Quiz
Quotient Identities Proof Practice Quiz - Quiz

Lock in tan θ = sin θ / cos θ and cot θ = cos θ / sin θ. You’ll prove small equalities (like tan·cos = sin), spot non-identities, and rewrite mixed expressions into one trig function. Clean, justified steps that make later algebra effortless.

2)
You may optionally provide this to label your report, leaderboard, or certificate.
2) Simplify: sin(x)/cos(x) + cos(x)/sin(x)

Explanation

Step 1: Write over common denominator sinx·cosx: (sin²x + cos²x)/(sinx cosx).

Step 2: Use sin²x + cos²x = 1.

So, the final answer is 1/(sinx cosx).

Submit
3) If cot(θ) = cos(θ)/sin(θ), what is 1/cot(θ)?

Explanation

Step 1: 1/cotθ = 1 / (cosθ/sinθ) = sinθ/cosθ.

Step 2: sinθ/cosθ = tanθ.

So, the final answer is tanθ.

Submit
4) Prove tan(x)·cos(x) = sin(x). Which step correctly applies the quotient identity?

Explanation

Step 1: tanx·cosx = (sinx/cosx)·cosx.

Step 2: Cancel cosx ⇒ sinx.

So, the final answer is B.

Submit
5) Which expression is NOT equivalent to sin²(θ)/cos(θ)?

Explanation

Step 1: sinθ·tanθ = sinθ·(sinθ/cosθ) = sin²θ/cosθ (equivalent).

Step 2: sinθ/cotθ = sinθ/(cosθ/sinθ) = sin²θ/cosθ (equivalent).

Step 3: sin³θ/cos²θ ≠ sin²θ/cosθ (extra sinθ/cosθ factor).

So, the final answer is D.

Submit
6) Simplify: tan(x)/sin(x)

Explanation

Step 1: tanx/sinx = (sinx/cosx)/sinx = 1/cosx.

Step 2: 1/cosx = secx.

So, the final answer is secx.

Submit
7) If tan(A) = 3, then sin(A)/cos(A) equals

Explanation

By definition, sinA/cosA = tanA = 3.

Submit
8) Which identity proves cot(x)·sin(x) = cos(x)?

Explanation

Step 1: cotx·sinx = (cosx/sinx)·sinx.

Step 2: Cancel sinx ⇒ cosx.

So, the final answer is C.

Submit
9) Simplify: 1/tan(θ)

Explanation

Step 1: 1/tanθ = 1/(sinθ/cosθ) = cosθ/sinθ = cotθ.

So, the final answer is cotθ.

Submit
10) Evaluate: [cos(x)/sin(x)]·[sin(x)/cos(x)]

Explanation

Step 1: (cos/sin)·(sin/cos) = 1.

So, the final answer is 1.

Submit
11) Simplify tan(x)/cot(x)

Explanation

Step 1: tan/cot = (sin/cos)/(cos/sin) = (sin²/cos²) = tan².

So, the final answer is tan²x.

Submit
12) Simplify: tan(θ)·cot(θ)

Explanation

Step 1: tanθ·cotθ = (sinθ/cosθ)·(cosθ/sinθ) = 1.

So, the final answer is 1.

Submit
13) Which equals (sin(x) + cos(x))/cos(x)?

Explanation

Step 1: (sin+cos)/cos = sin/cos + cos/cos = tanx + 1.

So, the final answer is tanx + 1.

Submit
14) If cot(β) = 4/3, what is tan(β)?

Explanation

Step 1: tanβ = 1/cotβ = 1/(4/3) = 3/4.

So, the final answer is 3/4.

Submit
15) Simplify: cot(x)/csc(x)

Explanation

Step 1: cot/csc = (cos/sin)/(1/sin) = (cos/sin)·sin = cos.

So, the final answer is cos(x).

Submit
16) Simplify sin(x)/tan(x)

Explanation

Step 1: sin/tan = sin/(sin/cos) = cos.

So, the final answer is cos(x).

Submit
17) Simplify: tan²(x)/tan(x)

Explanation

Step 1: tan²/tan = tan (where defined).

So, the final answer is tan(x).

Submit
18) Simplify: sin(x)·cot(x) + cos(x)

Explanation

Step 1: sin·cot = sin·(cos/sin) = cos.

Step 2: cos + cos = 2cos.

So, the final answer is 2cos(x).

Submit
19) Simplify: (1 + tan²(x))/tan(x)

Explanation

Step 1: 1 + tan²x = sec²x.

Step 2: sec²x / tanx = (1/cos²x)/(sin(x)/cos(x) = 1/(sin(x) cos(x) = csc(x)·sec(x).

So, the final answer is csc(x)·sec(x).

Submit
20) If sin(θ)/cos(θ) = k, what is cos(θ)/sin(θ) in terms of k?

Explanation

Step 1: sinθ/cosθ = k ⇒ cosθ/sinθ = 1/k (reciprocal).

So, the final answer is 1/k.
