उत्तर
We need to prove `cos A/(1 - tan A) + sin A/(1 - cot A) = sin A + cos `
Solving the L.H.S, we get
`cos A/(1 - tan A) + sin A/(1 - cot A)`
= `cos A/(1 - sin A/cos A) + sin A/(1 - cos A/sin A)`
`= cos A/((cos A - sin A)/cos A) + sin A/((sin A - cos A)/sin A)`
`= cos^2 A/(cos A - sin A) + (sin^2 A)/(sin A - cos A)`
`= (cos^2 A - sin^2 A)/(cos A - sin A)`
`= ((cos A + sin A)(cos A - sin A))/(cos A - sin A)` [using `a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a -b)`]
= cos A + sin A
= RHS
Hence proved.

Find the value of sin2θ + cos2θ

Solution:
In Δ ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠C = θ°
AB2 + BC2 = `square` .....(Pythagoras theorem)
Divide both sides by AC2
`"AB"^2/"AC"^2 + "BC"^2/"AC"^2 = "AC"^2/"AC"^2`
∴ `("AB"^2/"AC"^2) + ("BC"^2/"AC"^2) = 1`
But `"AB"/"AC" = square and "BC"/"AC" = square`
∴ `sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = square`
