There are two ways to confirm the identity.
Method 1
[tex]\tan(x)\cot(x) = 1\\\\\tan(x)\frac{1}{\tan(x)} = 1\\\\\frac{\tan(x)}{\tan(x)} = 1\\\\1 = 1 \ \ \checkmark\\\\[/tex]
--------------------------------------------
Method 2
[tex]\tan(x)\cot(x) = 1\\\\\left(\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}\right)\left(\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}\right) = 1\\\\\frac{\sin(x)\cos(x)}{\cos(x)\sin(x)} = 1\\\\\frac{\sin(x)}{\sin(x)} = 1\\\\1 = 1 \ \ \checkmark\\\\[/tex]
