Hi! I was absent today and did not understand this lesson please I will be really grateful if you help me ! I appreciate it this is classwork assignment does not count as a test and the first one was wrong I tried but it was wrong

Explanation
Given the identity
[tex]\cot ^2x+\csc ^2x=1+2\cot ^2x[/tex]Recall from trigometry identities that
[tex]1+cot^2x=csc^2x[/tex]Therefore,
[tex]\cot ^2x+\csc ^2x=\cot ^2x+(1+cot^2x)=1+2\cot ^2x[/tex]Answer: Option C
