Describe the error(s). (Select all that apply.) (1 + tan x)[1 + cot(-x)] - (1 tan x)(1 cot x) = 1 + cot x + tan x + tan x cot x 1 + cot x + tan x + 1 - 2 + cot x tan x In the first line, cotx is substituted for cot(-x), which is incorrect. The correct substitution is cot(-x) = tan x. In the first line, cot x is substituted for cot(-x), which is incorrect. The correct substitution is cot(-x) -cot x. In the second line, (1 + tan x)(1 + cot x) is expanded to 1 + cot x + tan x tan x cot x, which is incorrect. The correct expansion is 1 + 2 tan x + 2 cot x. In the third line, tan x cotx is substituted for 1, which is incorrect. The correct substitution is tan x cot x =-1. In the third line, tan x cot x is substituted for 1, which is incorrect. The correct substitution is tan x cotx = sin x.

Describe the error(s). (Select all that apply.)
(1 + tan x)[1 + cot(-x)]
- (1 tan x)(1 cot x)
= 1 + cot x + tan x + tan x cot x
1 + cot x + tan x + 1
- 2 + cot x tan x
In the first line, cotx is substituted for cot(-x), which is incorrect. The correct substitution is cot(-x) = tan x.
In the first line, cot x is substituted for cot(-x), which is incorrect. The correct substitution is cot(-x) -cot x.
In the second line, (1 + tan x)(1 + cot x) is expanded to 1 + cot x + tan x tan x cot x, which is incorrect. The correct
expansion is 1 + 2 tan x + 2 cot x.
In the third line, tan x cotx is substituted for 1, which is incorrect. The correct substitution is tan x cot x =-1.
In the third line, tan x cot x is substituted for 1, which is incorrect. The correct substitution is tan x cotx = sin x.
