Pythagorean identity is cos 2 ( x ) + sin 2 ( x ) = 1.
What is Pythagorean identity?
The Pythagoras Trig Identities are the trigonometric identities that are the true trigonometric functions of the Pythagoras Theorem. The basic identities are
sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ = 1 tan 2 θ + 1 = sec 2 θ cot 2 θ + 1 = c o s e c 2 θ
Now, cot 2 θ c o s e c 2 θ = 1 is matching with the identity cot 2 θ + 1 = c o s e c 2 θ. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
