Pre-Calculus - Simplify expressions using fundamental identities, tanx . cscx

The video tutorial explains how to simplify the expression tangent of X times cosecant of X using trigonometric identities. It begins by introducing the concept of simplification and the importance of understanding trigonometric identities. The instructor then applies the quotient identity to express tangent of X as sine of X over cosine of X, and the reciprocal identity to express cosecant of X as 1 over sine of X. By multiplying these expressions, the sine terms cancel out, leaving 1 over cosine of X, which is further simplified to secant of X. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the simplification process.
