Step-by-step solution

2 steps

To simplify the expression (sin⁡2t+cos⁡2t)/sin⁡2t(\sin^2 t + \cos^2 t)/\sin^2 t, we will use a fundamental trigonometric identity.

  1. Apply the Pythagorean identity.

    The Pythagorean identity states that sin⁡2t+cos⁡2t=1\sin^2 t + \cos^2 t = 1.
    Substitute this into the numerator of the expression:

    sin⁡2t+cos⁡2tsin⁡2t=1sin⁡2t\frac{\sin^2 t + \cos^2 t}{\sin^2 t} = \frac{1}{\sin^2 t}
  2. Use the reciprocal identity.

    The reciprocal identity for sine states that csc⁡t=1sin⁡t\csc t = \frac{1}{\sin t}.
    Therefore, csc⁡2t=(1sin⁡t)2=1sin⁡2t\csc^2 t = \left(\frac{1}{\sin t}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{\sin^2 t}.
    So, the expression simplifies to:

    1sin⁡2t=csc⁡2t\frac{1}{\sin^2 t} = \csc^2 t

    Comparing this result with the given options:
    A) sin⁡2t\sin^2 t
    B) cos⁡2t\cos^2 t
    C) tan⁡2t\tan^2 t
    D) csc⁡2t\csc^2 t

    The simplified expression matches option D.

    The final answer is \boxed{\text{D) \csc^2 t}}.
