Definition: Trigonometric Identities

When an equation, involving trigonometrical ratios of an angle A, is true for all values of A, the equation is called a trigonometric identity. 

Definition: Line of Sight

The straight line joining the eye of the observer to the point on the object being viewed.

Definition: Angle of Depression

The angle between the line of sight and the horizontal through the observer’s eye, when the object is below the level of the observer’s eye.

Definition: Angle of Elevation

The angle between the line of sight and the horizontal through the observer’s eye, when the object is above the level of the observer’s eye.

Definition: Allied Angles

Two angles are said to be allied when their sum or difference is either 0 (zero) or an integral multiple of n/2.

Examples:

  • −θ,  π2 ± θ,  π ± θ, 3π2 ± θ, 2π ± θ,etc.

Theorems and Laws [92]

Prove that `(cos^2θ)/(sinθ) + sin θ = "cosec"  θ`.

L.H.S. = `(cos^2θ)/(sinθ) + sin θ` 

= `(cos^2θ + sin^2θ)/(sin θ)`

= `1/(sin θ)`   ...[∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]

= cosec θ

= R.H.S.

∴ `(cos^2θ)/(sin θ) + sin θ = "cosec"  θ`

Prove that sec2θ + cosec2θ = sec2θ × cosec2θ.

L.H.S. = sec2θ + cosec2θ

= `1/(cos^2θ) + 1/(sin^2θ)`

= `(sin^2θ + cos^2θ)/(cos^2θ.sin^2θ)`

= `1/(cos^2θ.sin^2θ)`   ...[∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]

= `1/(cos^2θ) xx 1/(sin^2θ)`

= sec2θ × cosec2θ

= R.H.S.

∴ sec2θ + cosec2θ = sec2θ × cosec2θ

Prove the following identities:

`secA/(secA + 1) + secA/(secA - 1) = 2cosec^2A`

L.H.S. = `secA/(secA + 1) + secA/(secA - 1)`

= `(sec^2A - secA + sec^2A + secA)/(sec^2A - 1`

= `(2sec^2A)/tan^2A`   ...(∵ sec2 A – 1 = tan2 A)

= `(2/cos^2A)/(sin^2A/cos^2A)`

= `2/sin^2A`

= 2 cosec2 A = R.H.S.

`(cos^3 θ + sin^3 θ)/(cos θ + sin θ) + (cos ^3 θ - sin^3 θ)/(cos θ - sin θ) = 2`

LHS= `(cos^3 θ + sin^3 θ)/(cos θ + sin θ) + (cos ^3 θ - sin^3 θ)/(cos θ - sin θ) `

=` ((cos θ + sin θ)(cos^2 θ - cos θ sin θ + sin^2 θ))/((cos θ + sin θ)) + ((cos θ - sin θ)(cos^2 θ + cos θ sin θ + sin^2 θ))/((cos θ - sin θ))`

= (cos2 θ + sin2 θ − cos θ sin θ) + (cos2 θ + sin2 θ + cos θ sin θ)`

= (1 − cos θ sin θ) + (1 + cos θ sin θ)

= 2

= RHS

Hence, LHS = RHS

Prove that `(sin θ + tan θ)/(cos θ) = tan θ (1 + sec θ)`.

L.H.S. = `(sin θ + tan θ)/(cos θ)`

= `(sin θ)/(cos θ) + (tan θ)/(cos θ)`

= tan θ + tan θ sec θ

= tan θ (1 + sec θ)

= R.H.S.

∴ `(sin θ + tan θ)/(cos θ) = tan θ (1 + sec θ)`

Prove that `(cosθ)/(1 + sinθ) = (1 - sinθ)/(cosθ)`.

L.H.S. = `(cosθ)/(1 + sinθ)`

= `(cosθ)/(1 + sinθ) xx (1 - sinθ)/(1 - sinθ)`   ...[On rationalising the denominator]

= `(cosθ(1 - sinθ))/(1 - sin^2θ)`

= `(cosθ(1 - sinθ))/(cos^2θ)`   ...`[(∵ sin^2θ + cos^2θ = 1),(∴ 1 -sin^2θ = cos^2θ)]`

= `(1 - sinθ)/(cosθ)`

= R.H.S.

∴ `(cosθ)/(1 + sinθ) = (1 - sinθ)/(cosθ)`

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

`"cosec" theta sqrt(1 - cos^2 theta) = 1`

We know that `sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = 1`

So,

LHS = `"cosec" theta sqrt(1 - cos^2 theta)`

= `"cosec" theta sqrt (sin^2 theta)`

= cosec θ . sin θ

`1/sin theta xx sin theta`

= 1

= RHS hence proved.

`1 + (tan^2 θ)/((1 + sec θ)) = sec θ`

LHS = `1 + (tan^2 θ)/((1 + sec θ))`

=` 1 + ((sec^2 θ - 1))/((sec theta + 1))`

=`1 + ((sec theta + 1)(sec theta - 1))/((sec theta + 1))`

=`1 + (sec theta - 1)`

= sec θ

LHS = RHS

`1/((1+ sin θ)) + 1/((1 - sin θ)) = 2 sec^2 θ`

LHS =`1/((1+ sin θ)) + 1/((1 - sin θ))`

= `((1 - sin θ) + (1 + sin θ))/((1 + sin θ)(1 - sin θ))`

= `2/(1 - sin^2 θ)`

= `2/(cos^2 θ)`

= 2 sec2 θ

= RHS

Hence Proved.

Prove the following identities.

cot θ + tan θ = sec θ cosec θ

L.H.S. = cot θ + tan θ

L.H.S. = `costheta/sintheta + sintheta/costheta`

L.H.S. = `(cos^2theta + sin^2theta)/(sintheta costheta)`

[cos2 θ + sin2 θ = 1]

L.H.S. = `1/(sintheta costheta)`

Use Reciprocal Identities:

The expression can be split into `(1/sin θ) xx (1/cos θ)`.

`1/sin θ` = cosec θ

`1/cos θ` = sec θ

L.H.S. = cosec θ.sec θ

L.H.S. = sec θ.cosec θ

∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.

`sqrt((1 + sin θ)/(1 - sin θ)) = sec θ + tan θ`

LHS = `sqrt((1 + sin θ)/(1 - sin θ))`

=`sqrt(((1 + sin θ))/(1 - sin θ) xx ((1 + sin θ))/(1 + sin θ))`

=` sqrt(((1 + sin θ)^2)/(1 - sin^2 θ))`

=`sqrt(((1 + sin θ)^2)/(cos^2 θ))`

=`(1 + sin θ)/cos θ`

=`1/cos θ + (sin θ)/(cos θ)`

= sec θ + tan θ

= RHS

Prove that: `(sin θ - 2sin^3 θ)/(2 cos^3 θ - cos θ) = tan θ`.

LHS = `(sin θ - 2sin^3 θ)/(2 cos^3 θ - cos θ)`

= `(sin θ(1 - 2sin^2 θ))/(cos θ(2 cos^2 θ - 1))`

= `(tan θ(1 - 2(1 - cos^2 θ)))/(2 cos^2θ - 1 )`

= `(tan θ(1 - 2 + 2 cos^2 θ))/(2 cos^2θ - 1 )`

= `(tan θ(2 cos^2 θ - 1))/(2 cos^2θ - 1 )`

= tan θ

= RHS

Hence proved.

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

tan2 θ − sin2 θ = tan2 θ sin2 θ

LHS = tan2 θ − sin2 θ

= `sin^2 θ/cos^2 θ - sin^2 θ`   `[∵ tan^2 θ = sin^2 θ/cos^2 θ]`

`=> sin^2 θ [1/cos^2 θ- 1]`

`sin^2 θ [(1 - cos^2 θ)/cos^2 θ]`

`=> sin^2 θ. sin^2 θ/cos^2 θ = sin^2 θ tan^2 θ `

LHS = RHS

Hence proved

Prove that `sqrt((1 - sin θ)/(1 + sin θ)) = sec θ - tan θ`.

L.H.S. = `sqrt(((1 - sin θ)(1 - sin θ))/((1 + sin θ)(1 - sin θ)))`

= `sqrt((1 + sin^2θ - 2sinθ)/(1 - sin^2θ)`

= `sqrt((1 + sin^2θ - 2sinθ)/(cos^2θ)`

= `sqrt( 1/cos^2θ + sin^2θ/cos^2θ - (2sin θ)/cos θ xx 1/cosθ`

= `sqrt( sec^2θ + tan^2 θ - 2 tan θ . sec θ)`

= `sqrt((sec θ - tan θ)^2)`

= sec θ – tan θ

= R.H.S.

Hence proved.

L.H.S. = `sqrt((1 - sin θ)/(1 + sin θ))`

= `sqrt(((1 - sin θ)(1 - sin θ))/((1 + sin θ)(1 - sin θ))`

= `sqrt(((1 - sin θ)^2)/(1 - sin^2θ)`

= `sqrt(((1 - sin θ)^2)/(cos^2θ)`

= `(1 - sin θ)/(cos θ)`

= `1/(cos θ) - (sin θ)/(cos θ)`

= sec θ – tan θ

= R.H.S.

Hence Proved.

Prove the following identities:

`(cos theta  "cosec"  theta - sin theta sec theta )/(cos theta + sin theta) = "cosec"  theta - sec theta`

LHS = `(cos theta   cosec theta - sin theta  sec theta )/(costheta + sin theta)`

      =`((cos theta   sin theta)/(sin theta cos theta))/(cos theta + sin theta)`

      =`(cos^2  theta - sin^2 theta)/(cos theta  sin theta ( cos theta + sin theta))`

      =`((cos theta + sin theta )( cos theta - sin theta))/(cos theta sin theta ( cos theta + sin theta))`

      =`((cos theta - sin theta ))/(cos theta   sin theta)`

     =`1/ sin theta - 1/ cos theta`

     =`cosec theta - sec theta`

     = RHS
Hence, LHS = RHS 

Prove that:

`tanA/(1 - cotA) + cotA/(1 - tanA) = secA  "cosec"  A + 1`

L.H.S. = `tanA/(1 - cotA) + cotA/(1 - tanA)`

= `tanA/(1 - 1/tanA) + (1/tanA)/(1 - tanA)`

= `tan^2A/(tanA - 1) + 1/(tanA(1 - tanA))`

= `(tan^3A - 1)/(tanA(1 - tanA))`

= `((tanA - 1)(tan^2A + 1 + tanA))/(tanA(tanA - 1)`

= `(sec^2A + tanA)/tanA`

= `(1/cos^2A)/(sinA/cosA) + 1`

= `1/(sinAcosA) + 1`

= sec A cosec A + 1 = R.H.S.

If (cot θ + tan θ) = m and (sec θ – cos θ) = n, prove that `(m^2 n)^(2//3) - (mn^2)^(2//3) = 1`.

We have `(cot theta + tan theta ) = m and ( sec theta - cos theta )=n`

Now, `m^2 n = [(cot theta + tan theta )^2 (sec theta -  cos theta )]`

                  =`[(1/tan theta + tan theta )^2 (1/cos theta- cos theta )]`

                  =`(1+tan^2 theta)^2/tan^2 theta xx ((1-cos^2 theta))/costheta`

                  =`sec^4 theta/tan^2 theta xx sin^2 theta/ cos theta`

                  =`sec ^4 theta /(sin^2 theta/cos^2 theta) xx sin^2 theta / cos theta`

                  =`(cos^2 xxsec^4 theta)/costheta`

                  =`cos theta sec^4 theta`

                 =`1/ sec theta xx sec ^4 theta = sec^3 theta`

∴`(m^2 n)^(2/3) =(sec^3 theta )^(2/3) =  sec^2 theta`

Again, `mn^2 = [(cot theta + tan theta )( sec theta - cos theta )^2 ]`

                      =`[(1/tan theta + tan theta).(1/ cos theta - cos theta)^2]`

                     =`((1+ tan^2 theta))/tan theta xx ((1- cos^2 theta)^2)/cos^2 theta `

                     =`sec^2 theta/tan theta xx sin^4 theta/cos^2 theta`

                    =`sec^2 theta/(sintheta/costheta) xx sin^4 theta/ cos^2 theta`

                    =`(sec^2 xx sin^3 theta)/cos theta`

                     =`1/ cos^2 theta xx sec^3 theta/ cos theta = tan^3 theta `

∴ `(mn^2)^(2/3) = (tan ^3 theta )^(2/3) = tan^2 theta`

Now,` (m^2n)^(2/3) - (mn^2)^(2/3)`

                   =`sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta =1 `

                   =RHS

Hence proved.           

If (cosec θ – sin θ) = a3 and (sec θ – cos θ) = b3, prove that a2b2(a2 + b2) = 1.

We have `( cosec theta - sin theta ) = a^3`

      = > ` a^3 = (1/ sin theta - sin theta)`

      = > `a^3 = ((1- sin^2 theta))/sin theta = cos^2 theta / sin theta`

∴ `a=(cos^(2/3) theta)/(sin ^(1/3) theta)`

Again, `(sec theta - cos theta ) = b^3`

       = >`b^3 = (1/cos theta - cos theta )`

      =` ((1-cos^2 theta))/ cos theta`

      =` (sin^2 theta)/cos theta`

∴ b =` (sin ^(2/3) theta)/(cos ^(1/3) theta)`

Now , LHS  = `a^2 b^2 (a^2 + b^2 ) `

  =` a^3 (ab^2) + ( a^2 b^2 ) b^3 `

=`a^3 ( ab^2 ) + ( a^2 b^2 ) b^3 `

=`(cos^2 theta)/(sin theta) xx [(cos ^(2/3) theta)/(sin^(1/3) theta) xx (sin ^(4/3)theta)/(cos ^(2/3) theta)] + [ ( cos ^(4/3) theta theta)/(sin ^(2/3) theta)xx(sin^(2/3)theta)/(cos ^(1/3)theta)] xx sin^2 theta/ cos theta`

 =`cos^2 theta / sin theta xx sin theta + cos theta xx sin^2theta / costheta`

 =`cos^2 theta + sin^2 theta = 1`

= RHS
Hence, proved

cosec4 θ − cosec2 θ = cot4 θ + cot2 θ

LHS = cosec4 θ − cosec2 θ

LHS = cosec2 θ (cosec2 θ − 1)

LHS = (cot2 θ + 1)cot2 θ     ...`{(cot^2 θ + 1 = cosec^2 θ),(∵ cot^2 θ = cosec^2 θ - 1):}`

LHS = cot4 θ + cot2 θ

RHS = cot4 θ + cot2 θ

RHS = LHS 

Hence proved.

RHS = cot4 θ + cot2 θ

RHS = cot2 θ (cot2 θ + 1) 

RHS = (cosec2 θ − 1)cosec2 θ  ...`{(cot^2 θ + 1=cosec^2 θ),(∵ cot^2θ = cosec^2 θ - 1):}`

RHS = cosec4 θ − cosec2 θ

LHS = cosec4 θ − cosec2 θ

RHS = LHS 

Hence proved.

Prove the following identities:

`(1 + tan theta + cot theta)(sin theta - cos theta) = ((sec theta)/("cosec"^2 theta) - ("cosec"  theta)/(sec^2 theta))`

LHS = `(1 + tan theta + cot theta )(sintheta - cos theta) `

= `sin theta + tan theta sin theta + cot theta sin theta - cos theta - tan theta cos theta - cot theta cos theta `

= `sin theta + tan theta sin theta + cos theta/sin theta xx sin theta - cos theta - sin theta/cos theta xx cos theta - cot theta cos theta`

= `sin theta + tan theta  sin theta + cos theta - cos theta - sin theta - cot theta cos theta`

= `tan theta sin theta - cot theta cos theta`

= `sin theta/cos theta xx 1/(cosec theta) - cos theta/sin theta xx 1/sec theta`

= `1/(cosec theta) xx 1/(cosec theta) xx sec theta - 1/sec theta xx 1/sec theta xx cosec theta`

= `sec theta/(cosec^2 theta) - (cosec theta)/sec^2 theta`

= RHS

Hence, LHS = RHS

If (tan θ + sin θ) = m and (tan θ – sin θ) = n, prove that (m2 – n2)2 = 16 mn.

We have `(tan theta + sin theta ) = m and ( tan theta - sin theta )=n`

 Now,LHS = `(m^2-n^2)^2`

                =`[(tan^2 theta + sin^2 theta + 2 tan  theta  sin theta )-( tan^2 theta + sin^2 theta -2 tan theta sin theta )]^2`

               =`[(tan^2 theta +sin^2 theta + 2 tan theta sin theta - tan^2 theta -  sin^2 theta+ 2 tan theta sin theta )]^2`

              =`(4 tan theta sin theta )^2`

              =`16 tan^2 theta sin^2 theta`

              =`16 (sin ^2 theta )/(cos^2 theta ) sin^2 theta`

              =`16 ((1- cos^2 theta) sin ^2 theta)/ cos^2 theta`

               =`16 (tan^2 theta - tan^2 theta cos^2 theta)`

               =`16 (tan^2 theta -(sin^2 theta)/(cos^2 theta) xx cos^2 theta )s`

              =`16 ( tan^2 theta - sin^2 theta )`

              =`16 (tan theta + sin theta ) ( tan theta - sin theta)`

              =`16 mn                 [(tan theta + sin^theta )( tan theta - sin theta ) =mn]`

               =`∴ (m^2 - n^2 )(m^2 - n^2 )^2 = 16 mn`          

If x = a sec θ + b tan θ and y = a tan θ + b sec θ, prove that (x2 – y2) = (a2 – b2).

We have `x^2 - y^2 = [( a sec theta + b tan theta )^2 - ( a tan  theta + b sec theta )^2]`

= `(a^2 sec^2 theta + b^2 tan^2 theta + 2 ab sec theta tan theta) - (a^2 tan^2 theta + b^2 sec^2 theta + 2 ab tan theta sec theta)`

= `a^2 sec^2 theta + b^2 tan^2 theta - a^2 tan^2 theta - b^2 sec^2 theta`

= `(a^2 sec^2 theta - a^2 tan^2 theta)-( b^2 sec^2 theta - b^2 tan ^2 theta)`

= `a^2 ( sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta )-b^2 ( sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta)`

= `a^2 - b^2  [∵ sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta =1]`

Hence, `x^2 - y^2 = a^2 - b^2`

      = RHS

Prove the following identities:

`(sec theta + tan theta)/(sec theta - tan theta) = (sec theta + tan theta)^2 = 1 + 2 tan^2 theta + 2 sec theta tan theta`

Here, `(sec theta + tan theta ) /( sec theta - tan theta)`

      =`((sec theta + tan theta ) ( sec theta + tan theta))/(( sec theta - tan theta ) ( sec theta + tan theta ))`

      =` ((sec theta + tan theta )^2) /( sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta)`

      =`((sec theta + tan theta )^2)/1`

      =`(sec theta + tan theta )^2`

 Again , `(sec theta + tan theta )2`

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

`(1 + sin θ)/cos θ+ cos θ/(1 + sin θ) = 2 sec θ`

We have to prove `(1 + sin θ)/cos θ + cos θ/(1 + sin θ) = 2 sec θ`

We know that, `sin^2 θ + cos^2 θ = 1`

Multiplying the denominator and numerator of the second term by (1 − sin θ), we have

= `(1 + sin θ)/cos θ + cos θ/(1 + sin θ)`

`(1 + sin θ)/cos θ =  (cos θ(1 - sin θ))/((1 + sin θ)(1 - sin θ))`

`(1 + sin θ)/cos θ =  (cos θ (1 - sin θ))/(1-sin θ)`

= `(1 + sin θ)/cos θ + (cos θ(1 - sin θ))/cos^2 θ`

= `(1 + sin θ)/cos θ + (1 - sin θ)/cos θ`

= `(1 + sin θ +  1 - sin θ)/cos θ`

`= 2/cos θ`

= 2 sec θ

LHS = `(1 + sin θ)/cos θ + cos θ/(1 + sin θ)`

= `(( 1 + sin θ)^2 + cos^2 θ)/(cos θ(1 + sin θ))`

= `(1 + sin^2 θ + 2 sin θ + cos^2 θ)/(cos θ(1 + sin θ ))`

= `(1 + (sin^2θ + cos^2 θ) + 2 sin θ)/(cos θ(1 + sin θ))`

= `(1 + 1 + 2sin θ)/(cos θ(1 + sin θ))`

= `(2(1 + sin θ))/(cos θ(1 + sin θ))`

Hence proved.

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

`tan theta + 1/tan theta` = sec θ.cosec θ

So,

`tan theta + 1/tan theta = (tan^2 theta + 1)/tan theta`

`= sec^2 theta/tan theta`

`= sec theta sec theta/tan theta`

`= sec theta = (1/cos theta)/(sin theta/cos theta)`

= `(sec θ - tan θ)^2/(sec^2θ - tan^2θ )`

Hence proved.

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

`1/(sec A + tan A) - 1/cos A = 1/cos A - 1/(sec A - tan A)`

In the given question, we need to prove `1/(sec A + tan A) - 1/cos A = 1/cos A - 1/(sec A - tan A)`

Here, we will first solve the L.H.S.

Now using `sec theta = 1/cos theta` and `tan theta = sin theta/cos theta`, we get

`1/(sec A +  tan A) - 1/cos A  = 1/(1/cos A + sin A/cos A) - (1/cos A)`

`= 1/(((1 + sin A)/cos A)) - (1/cos A)`

`= (cos A/(1 + sin A)) - (1/cos A)`

`= (cos^2 A - (1 + sin A))/((1 + sin A)(cos A))`

On further solving, we get

`(cos^2 A -(1 + sin A))/((1 + sin A)(cos A)) = (cos^2 A - 1 - sin A)/((1 +  sin A)(cos A))`

`= (-sin^2 A - sin A)/((1 + sin A)(cos A))`    (Using `sin^2 theta = 1 - cos^2 theta)`

`= (-sin A(sin A + 1))/((1 + sin A)(cos A))`

`= (-sin A)/cos A`

= − tan A

Similarly, we solve the R.H.S.

`((1 - sin A) - cos^2 A)/((cos A)(1 - sin^2 A)) = (1 - sin A - cos^2 A)/((cos A)(1 - sin A))`

`= (sin^2 A - sin A)/((cos A)(1 - sin A))`   (Using `sin^2 theta = 1- cos^2 theta`) 

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

`= (-sin A)/cos A`

= − tan A

So, L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence proved.

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

(sec2 θ − 1) (cosec2 θ − 1) = 1

We know that

sec2 θ − tan2 θ = 1

cosec2 θ − cot2 θ = 1

So,

(sec2 θ − 1)(cosec2 θ − 1) = tan2 θ × cot2 θ

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

sec6 θ = tan6 θ + 3 tan2 θ sec2 θ + 1

We need to prove `sec^6 theta = tan^6 theta + 3 tan^2 theta sec^2 theta + 1`

Solving the L.H.S, we get

`sec^6 theta = (sec^2 theta)^3`

`= (1 + tan^2 theta)^3`

Further using the identity `(a + b)^3 = a^3 + b^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2`, we get

`(1 + tan^2 theta)^3 = 1 + tan^6 theta + 3(1)^2 (tan^2 theta) + 3(1)(tan^2 theta)^2`

`= 1 + tan^6 theta + 3 tan^2 theta + 3 tan^4 theta`

`= 1 + tan^6 theta + 3 tan^2 theta + 3 tan^4 theta`

`= 1 + tan^6 theta + 3 tan^2 theta (1 + tan^2 theta)`

`= 1 + tan^6 theta + 3 tan^2 theta sec^2 theta`   (using `1 + tan^2 theta = sec^2 theta`)

Hence proved.

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

`tan θ/(1 - cot θ) + cot θ/(1 - tan θ) = 1 + tan θ + cot θ`

We need to prove `tan θ/(1 - cot θ) + cot θ/(1 - tan θ) = 1 + tan θ + cot θ`

Now using cot θ = `1/tan θ` in the LHS, we get

`tan θ/(1 - cot θ) + cot θ/(1 - tan θ) = tan θ/(1 - 1/tan θ) + (1/tan θ)/(1 - tan θ)`

`= tan θ/(((tan θ - 1)/tan θ)) + 1/(tan θ(1 - tan θ))`

`= (tan θ)/(tan θ  - 1)(tan θ) + 1/(tan θ(1 - tan θ)`

`= tan^2 θ/(tan θ - 1) - 1/(tan θ(tan θ - 1))`

`= (tan^3 θ - 1)/(tan θ(tan θ - 1))`

Further using the identity `a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)`, we get

`(tan^3 θ - 1)/(tan(tan θ - 1)) = ((tan θ - 1)(tan^2 θ + tan θ + 1))/(tan θ (tan θ - 1))`

`= (tan^2 θ + tan θ + 1)/(tan θ)`

`= tan^2 θ/tan θ+ tan θ/tan θ + 1/tan θ`

= tan θ + 1 + cot θ

Hence `tan θ/(1 - cot θ) + cot θ/(1 - tan θ) = 1 + tan θ + cot θ`

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

`(1 - sin θ)/(1 + sin θ) = (sec θ - tan θ)^2`

We have to prove  `(1 - sin θ)/(1 + sin θ) = (sec θ - tan θ)^2`

Multiplying both numerator and denominator by  (1 − sin θ), we have

`(1 - sin θ)/(1 + sin θ) = ((1 - sin θ)(1 -  sin θ))/((1 + sin θ)(1 - sin θ))`

`= (1 - sin θ)^2/(1 - sin^2 θ)`

`= ((1 - sin θ)/cos θ)^2`

`= (1/cos θ - sin θ/cos θ)^2`

`= (sec θ - tan θ)^2`

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

`(1 + cos θ + sin θ)/(1 + cos θ - sin θ) = (1 + sin θ)/cos θ`

Consider the LHS = `(1 + cos θ + sin θ)/(1 + cos θ - sin θ)`

`= ((1 + cos θ + sin θ)/(1 + cos θ - sin θ))((1 + cos θ + sin θ)/(1 + cos θ + sin θ))`

`= (1 + cos θ + sin θ)^2/((1 + cos θ)^2 sin^2 θ)`

`= (2 + 2(cos θ + sin θ + sin θ cos θ))/(2 cos^2 θ+ 2 cos θ)`

`= (2(1 + cos θ)(1 + sin θ))/(2 cos θ (1 + cos θ))`

`= (1 + sin θ)/cos θ`

= `(2sin^2"A" - 1)/(sin^2"A"*cos^2"A")`

∴ `sec^2A - "cosec"^2A = (2sin^2A - 1)/(sin^2A*cos^2A)`

If cos A = `(2sqrt(m))/(m + 1)`, then prove that cosec A = `(m + 1)/(m - 1)`.

`cos A = (2sqrt(m))/(m + 1)`   ...[Given]

We know that,

sin2A + cos2A = 1

∴ `sin^2A + ((2sqrt(m))/(m + 1))^2 = 1`

∴ `sin^2A + (4m)/(m + 1)^2 = 1`

∴ `sin^2A = 1 - (4m)/(m + 1)^2`

= `((m + 1)^2 - 4m)/(m + 1)^2`

= `(m^2 + 2m + 1 - 4m)/(m + 1)^2`   ...[∵ (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2]

= `(m^2 - 2m + 1)/(m + 1)^2`

∴ `sin^2A = (m - 1)^2/(m + 1)^2`   ...[∵ a2 – 2ab + b2 = (a – b)2]

∴ `sin A = (m - 1)/(m + 1)`   ...[Taking square root of both sides]

Now, `"cosec"  A = 1/(sin A)`

= `1/((m - 1)/(m + 1))`

∴ `"cosec"  A = (m + 1)/(m - 1)`

Prove that `(sec A)/(tan A + cot A) = sin A`.

L.H.S. = `(sec A)/(tan A + cot A)`

= `(sec A)/((sin A)/(cos A) + (cos A)/(sin A))`

= `(sec A)/((sin^2A + cos^2A)/(cosA sinA))`

= sec A cos A sin A

= `1/(cos A) xx cos A sin A`

∴ `(sec A)/(tan A + cot A) = sin A`

If a cos θ – b sin θ = c, then prove that (a sin θ + b cos θ) = `±  sqrt(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)`

Given a cos θ – b sin θ = c

Squaring on both sides

(a cos θ – b sin θ)2 = c2

a2 cos2 θ + b2 sin2 θ – 2 ab cos θ sin θ = c2

a2 (1 – sin2 θ) + b2 (1 – cos2 θ) – 2 ab cos θ sin θ = c2

a2 – a2 sin2 θ + b2 – b2 cos2 θ – 2 ab cos θ sin θ = c

– a2 sin2 θ – b2cos2 θ – 2 ab cos θ sin θ  = – a2 – b2 + c2

a2 sin2 θ + b2 cos2 θ + 2 ab cos θ sin θ = a2 + b2 – c2

(a sin θ + b cos θ)2 – a2 + b2 – c

a sin θ + b cos θ = `±  sqrt(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)`

Hence, it is proved.

If 1 + sin2θ = 3 sin θ cos θ, then prove that tan θ = 1 or `1/2`.

Given: 1 + sin2 θ = 3 sin θ cos θ

Dividing L.H.S and R.H.S equations with sin2θ,

We get, 

`(1 + sin^2 theta)/(sin^2 theta) = (3 sin theta cos theta)/(sin^2 theta)`

`\implies 1/(sin^2 theta) + 1 = (3 cos theta)/sintheta`

cosec2 θ + 1 = 3 cot θ

Since, cosec2 θ – cot2 θ = 1 

`\implies` cosec2 θ = cot2 θ + 1

`\implies` cot2 θ + 1 + 1 = 3 cot θ

`\implies` cot2 θ + 2 = 3 cot θ

`\implies` cot2 θ – 3 cot θ + 2 = 0

Splitting the middle term and then solving the equation,

`\implies` cot2 θ – cot θ – 2 cot θ + 2 = 0

`\implies` cot θ(cot θ – 1) – 2(cot θ + 1) = 0

`\implies` (cot θ – 1)(cot θ – 2) = 0

`\implies` cot θ = 1, 2

Since,

tan θ = `1/cot θ`

tan θ = `1, 1/2`

Hence proved.

Given, 1 + sin2 θ = 3 sin θ cos θ

On dividing by sin2 θ on both sides, we get

`1/(sin^2θ) + 1 = 3 cot θ`   ...`[∵ cot θ = cos θ/sin θ]`

⇒ cosec2 θ + 1 = 3 cot θ

⇒ 1 + cot2 θ + 1 = 3 cot θ

⇒ cot2 θ – 3 cot θ + 2 = 0

⇒ cot2 θ – 2 cot θ – cot θ + 2 = 0

⇒ cot θ (cot θ – 2) – 1(cot θ – 2) = 0

⇒ (cot θ – 2) (cot θ – 1) = 0

⇒ cot θ = 1 or 2

tan θ = 1 or `1/2`

Hence proved.

∴ (cosα + cosβ)2 - (sinα + sinβ)2 = 0

⇒ (cos2α + cos2β + 2cosα cosβ) - (sin2α + sin2β + 2sinα sinβ) = 0

⇒ cos2α + cos2β + 2 cosα cosβ - sin2α - sin2β - 2 sinα sinβ = 0

⇒ (cos2α - sin2α) + (cos2β - sin2β) + 2(cosα cosβ - sinα sinβ) = 0

⇒ cos2α + cos2β + 2cos(α + β) = 0

Hence, cos2α + cos2β = -2cos(α + β).

Hence proved

If cos(α + β) = `4/5` and sin(α – β) = `5/13`, where α lie between 0 and `pi/4`, find the value of tan2α.
[Hint: Express tan2α as tan(α + β + α – β)]

Given that: cos(α + β) = `4/5`

∴ tan(α + β) = `3/4`


And sin(α – β) = `5/13`

∴ tan(α – β) = `5/12`


Now tan 2α = tan[α + β + α – β]

= tan[(α + β) + (α – β)]

= `(tan(alpha + beta) + tan(alpha - beta))/(1 - tan(alpha + beta).tan(alpha - beta))`

= `(3/4 + 5/12)/(1 - 3/4 xx 5/12)`

= `((9 + 5)/12)/((48 - 15)/48)`

= `14/12 xx 48/33`

= `56/33`

Hence, tan 2α = `56/33`.

If `sin θ = 3/4` prove that `sqrt(("cosec"^2θ - cot^2θ)/(sec^2θ - 1)) = sqrt(7)/3`.

We have `sin theta = 3/4`


In ΔABC

`AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2`

`=> (4)^2 = (3)^2 + BC^2`

`=> BC^2= 16 - 9`

`=> BC^2 = 7`

`=> BC = sqrt7`

`:. cosec theta = 4/3, sec theta = 4/sqrt7 and cot theta = sqrt7/3`

Now

L.H.S `sqrt((cosec^2 theta - cot^2 theta)/(sec^2 theta - 1))`

`= sqrt(((4/3)^2 - (sqrt7/3)^2)/((4/sqrt7)^2 - 1)`

`= sqrt((16/9 - 7/9)/(16/7 - 1)`

`=sqrt((9/9)/((16 - 7)/7 ))`

`= sqrt(7/9)`

`= sqrt7/3`

= R.H.S

If `tan θ = a/b` then prove that `((a sin theta - b cos theta)/(a sin theta + b cos theta)) = ((a^2 - b^2))/((a^2 + b^2))`.

Let `(a sin  theta - b cos theta)/(a sin theta + b cos theta)`

Divide both Nr and Dr with cos θ of (a)

`((a sin theta - b cos theta)/cos theta)/((a sin theta + b cos theta)/cos theta)`

`= (tan theta - b)/(a tan theta + b)`

`=(a xx (a/b) - b)/(a xx (a/b) + b)`

`= (a^2 - b^2)/(a^2 + b^2)`
