Sagot :

Answer:

  A.  student A is correct; student B was confused by the division

  B.  3: cos²(θ)/(sin(θ)csc(θ)); 4: cos²(θ)

Step-by-step explanation:

Each student correctly made use of the trig identities ...

  csc(θ) = 1/sin(θ)

  1 -sin²(θ) = cos²(θ)

__

A.

Student A's work is correct.

Student B apparently got confused by the two denominators in Step 2, and incorrectly replaced them with their quotient instead of their product.

__

B.

The transition from Step 2 can look like ...
