उत्तर
We have to prove `cot theta - tan theta = (2 cos^2 theta - 1)/(sin theta cos theta)`
We know that `sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = 1`
So,
`cot theta - tan theta = (cos theta)/(sin theta) - (sin theta)/(cos theta)`
`= (cos^2 theta - sin^2 theta)/(sin theta cos theta)`
`= (cos^2 theta - (1 - cos^2 theta))/(sin theta cos theta)`
`= (cos^2 theta - 1 + cos^2 theta)/(sin theta cos theta)`
`= (2 cos^2 theta - 1)/(sin theta cos theta)`

Show that, cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ
Solution :
L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ
= `cosθ/sinθ + sinθ/cosθ`
= `(square + square)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`
= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ............... `square`
= `1/sinθ xx 1/square`
= cosecθ × secθ
L.H.S. = R.H.S
∴ cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ
