उत्तर
sin θ + cos θ = `sqrt(3)`
Squaring on both sides:
(sin θ + cos θ)2 = `(sqrt(3))^2`
sin2 θ + cos2 θ + 2 sin θ cos θ = 3
1 + 2 sin θ cos θ = 3
2 sin θ cos θ = 3 – 1
2 sin θ cos θ = 2
∴ sin θ cos θ = 1
L.H.S = tan θ + cot θ
= `sin theta/cos theta + cos theta/sin theta`
= `(sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta)/(sin theta cos theta)`
= `1/(sin theta cos theta)`
= `1/1` ...(sin θ cos θ = 1)
= 1 = R.H.S.
⇒ tan θ + cot θ = 1
L.H.S = R.H.S
