Simplify Sen(x) + Cos(x)Cot(x)?

can you show me how to simplify the following???

is (sine of x) plus (cosine of x times cotangent of x)

Sin(x) + Cos(x)Cot(x)

Update:

where can i find the equalities to simplify cot?

    sin(x) + cos(x)cot(x)

    sin(x) + cos(x)[cos(x)/sin(x)]

    sin(x) + cos²(x)/sin(x)

    sin²(x)/sin(x) + cos²(x)/sin(x)

    [sin²(x) + cos²(x)]/sin(x)

    Since sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1:

    1/sin(x)

    csc(x)

    sin x + cos x cot x = sin x + cos x • cos x/sin x = sin x + cos^2 x/sin x = (sin^2 x + cos^2 x)/sin x = 1/sin x = csc x

    1/sin - cos* (cos/sin) (1-cos²)/sin since sin² + cos² = 1 you can rearrange: sin² = 1 - cos² Therefore: sin²/sin Answer --> sin(x) Note: all the sine and cosine terms should have an x variable within them but i left them out to simplify notation. ie. sin = sin(x)

    Sin(x) + Cos(x)Cot(x)

    Cot(x) = Cos(x)/Sin(x)

    Sin(x) + Cos(x)Cos(x)/sin(x)

    Sin(x) +cos^2(X)/Sin(x)

    (Sin^2(x) + cos^2(x))/Sin(x)

    Sin^2(x) + cos^2(x)=1

    =(Sin^2(x) + cos^2(x))/Sin(x)=

    1/Sin(x) = cosec(x)

    sinx+cosx * cosx/sinx

    =sinx+cos^2x/sinx

    =(sin^2x+cos^2x)/sinx

    =1/sinx

    =cscx
