Given:


(cosusecu)/(tanu)

To simplify and write the given trigonometric expression in terms of sine and cosine, we first note below basic trigonometric identities:


secu=(1)/(cosu)
tanu=(sinu)/(cosu)

Next, we plug in what we know:


\begin{gathered} (cosusecu)/(tanu)=(cosu((1)/(cosu)))/((sinu)/(cosu)) \\ Simplify\text{ and rearrange} \\ (cosusecu)/(tanu)=(cosu)/(sinu) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answers are:


\begin{gathered} f(u)=cosu \\ g(u)=sinu \end{gathered}
