Analysis Quiz 6:
IMO Mock Trigonometric Math Quiz
Please answer the following questions based on the trigonometric equation below:
$\sin 9x-\csc^2 x=5\sin 3x+9\tan^2 x-1$
Question 1.
Would you convert the cosecant function to the sine function to solve the trigonometric equation above?
Yes.
No.
Perhaps.
Answer:
For an old hand like me (I'm not old at all, hehehe...), I could say right up front, loudly that I would not convert the cosecant function to the sine function in this case! But, if you are new and eager to learn, I will lead you to the answer, just that you have to be patient.

Solving Hard System
Solve the system
$\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{y+z}=\dfrac{1}{2}$
$\dfrac{1}{y}+\dfrac{1}{x+z}=\dfrac{1}{3}$
$\dfrac{1}{z}+\dfrac{1}{x+y}=\dfrac{1}{4}$
Method I (Long and tedious but workable solution):
$\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{y+z}=\dfrac{1}{2}$
$\dfrac{1}{y}+\dfrac{1}{x+z}=\dfrac{1}{3}$
$\dfrac{1}{z}+\dfrac{1}{x+y}=\dfrac{1}{4}$
