To solve the expression cos(360 - A) / sin(270 + A) + cot(90 + A) / tan(180 - A) + sin(90 - A) / sin(90 + A), we can simplify each term step by step.

Breaking Down the Terms

First Term: cos(360 - A) / sin(270 + A)

Using the cosine and sine properties:

  • cos(360 - A) = cos(A)
  • sin(270 + A) = -cos(A)

Thus, the first term simplifies to:

cos(A) / -cos(A) = -1

Second Term: cot(90 + A) / tan(180 - A)

Using trigonometric identities:

  • cot(90 + A) = -tan(A)
  • tan(180 - A) = -tan(A)

This gives us:

-tan(A) / -tan(A) = 1

Third Term: sin(90 - A) / sin(90 + A)

Applying sine properties:

  • sin(90 - A) = cos(A)
  • sin(90 + A) = cos(A)

Therefore, the third term simplifies to:

cos(A) / cos(A) = 1

Final Calculation

Now, we can combine all the simplified terms:

-1 + 1 + 1 = 1

Final Result

The value of the expression is 1.
