Prove this identity:
prove the following identity: 2sin^2(x)/sin2(x)+cot(x)=sec(x)csc(x)
please note that the cot(x) is not with the sin2(x) as a part of the denominator. The 2sin^2(x)/sin2(x) is its own fraction....

Why do the values of sin and cos follow such a pattern:
sin(0)=(√0)/2
sin(π/6)=(√1)/2
sin(π/4)=(√2)/2
sin(π/3)=(√3)/2
sin(π/2)=(√4)/2
cos(0)=(√4)/2cos(π/6)=(√3)/2cos(π/4)=(√2)/2cos(π/3)=(√1)/2cos(π/2)=(√0)/2
Why do they follow this pattern?...
