Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Using the trigonometric identities

• secx =
(1)/(cosx), cscx =
(1)/(sinx)

• cotx =
(cosx)/(sinx)

Consider the left side


(sexcscx)/(cotx)

=
(1)/(cosx) ×
(1)/(sinx) ×
(sinx)/(cosx)

Cancel the sinx on numerator/ denominator

=
(1)/(cos^2x)

= sec²x = right side ⇒ verified
