Analysis Quiz 7: IMO Mock Trigonometric Math Quiz

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.
