Theorems and Laws [128]

If `cot theta = 3/4`, prove that `sqrt((sec theta - cosec theta)/(sec theta + cosec theta)) = 1/sqrt7`

`cot theta = "𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒"/"𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒"`

Let x be the hypotenuse by applying Pythagoras theorem.

𝐴𝐶2 = 𝐴𝐵2 + 𝐵𝐶2

𝑥2 = 16 + 9

`x^2 = 25 => x = 5`

`sec theta = (AC)/(BC) = 5/3`

`cosec theta = (AC)/(AB) = 5/4`

On substituting in equation we get

`sqrt((sec theta - cosec theta)/(sec theta + cosec theta)) = sqrt((5/3 - 5/4)/(5/3 + 5/4))`

`= sqrt(((20 - 15)/12)/((20 + 15)/12)) = sqrt(5/35) = 1/sqrt7`

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)`

If cos θ + cos2 θ = 1, prove that sin12 θ + 3 sin10 θ + 3 sin8 θ + sin6 θ + 2 sin4 θ + 2 sin2 θ − 2 = 1

Given `cos theta + cos^2 theta = 1`

We have to prove sin12 θ + 3 sin10 θ + 3 sin8 θ + sin6 θ + 2 sin4 θ + 2 sin2 θ − 2 = 1

From the given equation, we have

`cos theta + cos^2 theta = 1`

`=> cos theta = 1 - cos^2 theta`

`=> cos theta = sin^2 theta`

`=> sin^2 theta = cos theta`

Therefore, we have

sin12 θ + 3 sin10 θ + 3 sin8 θ + sin6 θ + 2 sin4 θ + 2 sin2 θ − 2

`= (sin^12 theta + 3 sin^10 theta + 3 sin^8 theta + sin^6 theta) + (2 sin^4 theta + 2 sin^2 theta) - 2` 

`= {(sin^4 theta)^3 + 3(sin^4 theta)^2 sin^2 theta + 3 sin^4 theta(sin^2 theta)^2 + (sin^2 theta)^3} + 2(sin^4 theta + sin^2 theta) - 2`

`= (sin^4 theta  + sin^2 theta)^3 + 2 (sin^4 theta + sin^2 theta) - 2`

`= (cos^2 theta + cos theta)^3 + 2 (cos^2 theta + cos theta) - 2`

`= (1)^3 + 2(1) - 2`

= 1

Hence proved

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

`(1 + tan^2 A) + (1 + 1/tan^2 A) = 1/(sin^2 A - sin^4 A)`

We need to prove `(1 + tan^2 A) + (1 + 1/tan^2 A) = 1/(sin^2 A - sin^4 A)`

Using the property `1 + tan^2 theta = sec^2 theta` we get

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

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

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

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

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

` = 1/cos^2 A + 1/sin^2 A`

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

Further, using the property, `sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = 1` we get

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

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

`= 1/(sin^2 A - sin^4 A)`

Hence proved

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

`cot^2 A cosec^2B - cot^2 B cosec^2 A = cot^2 A - cot^2 B`

L.H.S = `cot^2 A cosec^2B - cot^2 B cosec^2 A`

`= cot^2 A(1+ cot^2 B) - cot^2 B(1 + cot^2 A)`    (∵ `1 + cot^2 theta = cosec^2 theta`)

`= cot^2 A + cot^2 A cot^2 B - cot^2 B - cot^2 A cot^2 B`

`= cot^2 A - cot^2 B`

Hence proved

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

`(tan^3 theta)/(1 + tan^2 theta) + (cot^3 theta)/(1 + cot^2 theta) = sec theta cosec theta - 2 sin theta cos theta`

`(tan^3 theta)/(1 + tan^2 theta) + (cot^3 theta)/(1 + cot^2 theta) `         [`∵ sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta = 1 - cosec^2 theta - cot^2 theta = 1`]

`= tan theta + cos^2 theta = cot^3 theta xx sin^3 theta`

`[∵ 1/sec^2 theta = cos^2 theta, 1/cosec^2 theta = 1 + cot^2 theta]`

`sin^3 theta/cos^3 theta xx cos^2 theta + cos^3 theta/sin^3 theta xx sin^2 theta`

`sin^3 theta/cos theta + cos^3 theta/sin theta`

`= (sin^4 theta + cos^4 theta)/(sin theta cos theta)`

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

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

`sec theta cosec theta - 2sin theta cos theta`.

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

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

We have to prove `tan A/(1 + tan^2  A)^2 + cot A/((1 + cot^2 A)) = sin A  cos A`

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

So

`tan A/(1 + tan^2 A)^2 + cot A/(1 + cot^2 A)^2`

`= tan A/(sec^2 A)^2  + cot A/(cosec^2 A)^2`

`= tan A/sec^4 A  + cot A/(cosec^4 A)`

`= (sin A/cos A)/(1/cos^4 A) + (cos A/sin A)/(1/sin^4 A)`

`= (sin A cos^4 A)/cos A + (cos A sin^4 A)/sin A`

`= sin A cos^3 A + cos A sin^3 A`

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

= sin A cos A

Hence proved.

If `a cos^3 theta + 3a cos theta sin^2 theta = m, a sin^3 theta + 3 a cos^2 theta sin theta = n`, prove that `(m + n)^(2/3) + (m - n)^(2/3) = 2a^(2/3)`

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

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

`= a^(1/3) [(cos theta + sin theta)^3]^(2/3) + a^(2/3) (cos theta - sin theta)^3]^(2/3)`

`= a^(2/3) [(cos theta + sin theta)^2] + a^(2/3) (cos theta - sin theta)^2`

`= a^(2/3) [cos^2 theta + sin^2 theta - 2sin theta cos theta]`

`= a^(2/3) [cos^2 theta + sin^2 theta + 2 sin theta cos theta] +_ a^(2/3) [cos^2 theta + sin^2 theta - 2 sin theta cos theta]`

`= a^(2/3) [1 + 2 sin theta cos theta] + a^(2/3)[1 - 2 sin theta cos theta]`

`= a^(2/3) [1 + 2 sin theta cos theta + 1  - 2 sin theta cos theta]`

`= a^(1/3) (1 + 1) = 2a^(2/3)`

R.H.S

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 the following trigonometric identities.

sec A (1 − sin A) (sec A + tan A) = 1

We have to prove sec A(1 − sin A)(sec A + tan A) = 1

We know that sec2 A − tan2 A − 1 

So,

sec A(1 − sin A)(sec A + tan A) = {sec A(1 − sin A)}(sec A + tan A)

= (sec A − sec A sin A)(sec A + tan A)

= `(sec A - 1/cos A  sin A) (sec A + tan A)`     ...`(∵ sec theta = 1/costheta)`

= `(sec A - sin A/cos A) (sec A + tan A)`    ...`(∵ tan theta = sin theta/costheta)`

= (sec A − tan A)(sec A + tan A)

= sec2 A − tan2 A

= 1 = R.H.S.    ... (∵ sec2 θ = 1 tan2 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

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

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

Taking L.H.S and rationalizing the numerator and denominator with its respective conjugates, we get,

`"LHS" = sqrt((1 + sin θ)/(1 - sin θ) × (1 + sin θ)/(1 + sin θ)) + sqrt((1 - sin θ)/(1 + sin θ) × (1 - sin θ)/(1 - sin θ))`

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

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

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

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

`"LHS" = (1 + cancel(sin θ) + 1 -cancel(sin θ))/(cos θ)`

LHS = `2/(cos θ)`

LHS = 2. `1/(cos θ)`

LHS = 2. sec θ

RHS = 2. sec θ

LHS = RHS

Hence proved.

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

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

If cos A + cos2 A = 1, prove that sin2 A + sin4 A = 1

Given : `cos A + cos^2 A = 1`

we have to prove `sin^2 A + sin^4 A = 1`

Now

`cos A + cos^2 A = 1`

`=>cos A = 1 - cos^2 A`

`=> cos A = sin^2 A`

`=> sin^2 A = cos A`

Therefore, we have

`sin^2 A + sin^4 A = cos A + (cos A)^2`

`= cos A + cos^2 A`

= 1

Hence proved.

`= (a^2 cos^2 theta + b^2 sin^2 theta + 2ab cos theta sin theta) + (a^2sin^2 theta + b^2cos^2 theta - 2ab sin theta cos theta)`

`= a^2 cos^2 theta + b^2 sin^2 theta + a^2 sin^2 theta + b^2 cos^2 theta`

`= (a^2 cos^2 theta + a^2 sin^2 theta) + (b^2 cos^2 theta + b^2 sin^2 theta)`

`= a^2(cos^2 theta + sin^2 theta) + b^2(cos^2 theta + sin^2 theta)`

`=a^2 + b^2`   [∵ `sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = 1]`

Hence, m2 + n2 = a2 + b2

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

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

 In the given question, we need to prove `((1 + sin theta - cos theta)/(1 + sin theta + cos theta))^2 = (1 - cos theta)/(1 + cos theta)`

Taking `sin theta` common from the numerator and the denominator of the L.H.S, we get

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

`= ((1 + cosec theta - cot theta)/(1 + cosec theta + cot theta))^2`

Now, using the property  `1 + cot^2 theta = cosec^2 theta` we get

`((1 + cosec theta -  cot theta)/(1 + cosec theta + cot theta))^2 = (((cosec^2 theta - cot^2 theta) +cosec theta - cot theta)/(1 + cosec theta + cot theta))^2`

Using `a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b) we get

`(((cosec^2 theta - cot^2 theta)(cosec theta - cot theta))/(1 + cosec theta + cot theta))^2 = (((cosec theta - cot theta)(cosec theta + cot theta + 1))/(1 + cosec theta + cot theta))^2`

`= (cosec theta - cot theta)^2`

Using `cot theta = cos theta/sin theta` and `cosec = 1/sin theta` we get

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

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

Now, using the property `sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = 1` we get

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

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

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

Hence proved.

Prove that: `sqrt((sec theta - 1)/(sec theta + 1)) + sqrt((sec theta + 1)/(sec theta - 1)) = 2 cosec theta`

LHS = `sqrt((1/cos theta - 1)/(1/cos theta + 1)) + sqrt((1/cos theta +1)/(1/cos theta - 1))`

`= sqrt(((1 - cos theta)/cos theta)/((1+ cos theta)/cos theta)) + sqrt(((1 + cos theta)/cos theta)/((1 - cos theta)/cos theta)`

`= sqrt((1 - cos theta)/(1 + cos theta)) +sqrt((1 + cos theta)/(1 - cos theta))`

`= sqrt((1 - cos theta)/(1 + cos theta) xx (1 - cos theta)/(1 - cos theta)) + sqrt((1 + cos theta)/(1 - cos theta) xx (1 + cos theta)/(1 + cos theta))`

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

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

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

`= 2/sin theta`

= 2 cosec

Prove that: `sqrt((1 - cos θ)/(1 + cos θ)) = "cosec" θ - cot θ`.

LHS = `sqrt((1 - cos θ)/(1 + cos θ) xx (1 - cos θ)/(1 - cos θ))`

= `sqrt((1 - cos θ)^2/(1 - cos^2θ))`

= `(1 - cos θ)/(sqrt(1 - cos^2θ))` 

= `(1 - cos θ)/(sqrt(sin^2θ))`

= `(1 - cos θ)/(sin θ)`

= `(1)/(sin θ) - (cos θ)/(sin θ)`

= cosec θ − cot θ

Hence proved.

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

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

We need to prove  `(sec A - tan A)/(sec A + tan A) = (cos^2 A)/(1 + sin A)^2`

Here, we will first solve the LHS.

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

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

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

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

Further, multiplying both numerator and denominator by 1 + sin A we get

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

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

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

Now, using the property `cos^2 theta + sin^2 theta = 1`, we get

So,

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

Hence proved

If tan A = n tan B and sin A = m sin B, prove that `cos^2A = (m^2 - 1)/(n^2 - 1)`

Given that, tan A = n tan B and sin A = m sin B.

`=> n = tanA/tanB` and `m = sinA/sinB` 

∴ `(m^2 - 1)/(n^2 - 1) = ((sinA/sinB)^2 - 1)/((tanA/tanB)^2 - 1)`

= `(sin^2A/sin^2B - 1/1)/(tan^2A/(tan^2B) - 1)`

= `((sin^2A - sin^2B).tan^2B)/(sin^2B.(tan^2A - tan^2B))`

= `((sin^2A - sin^2B)/tan^2B)/((tan^2A - tan^2B)/sin^2B)`

= `((sin^2A - sin^2B)sin^2B)/((sin^2A/cos^2A-sin^2B/cos^2B)cos^2Bsin^2B)`

= `(sin^2A - sin^2B)/(((sin^2A.cos^2B - sin^2B.cos^2A)/(cos^2A.cos^2B)) cos^2B)`

= `((sin^2A - sin^2B)cos^2A)/(sin^2A.cos^2B - sin^2B.cos^2A)`

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

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

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

= cos2 A

Prove the following trigonometric identities:

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

We have to prove `(1 - cos theta)/sin theta = sin theta/(1 + cos theta)`

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

Multiplying both numerator and denominator by `(1 + cos theta)`, we have

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

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

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

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

Prove that `sin A/(sec A + tan A - 1) + cos A/("cosec"  A + cot A - 1) = 1`.

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

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

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

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

= `(sin A. cos A( 1 + cos A - sin A + 1 + sin A - cos A))/([ 1 + (sin A - cos A)][1 - (sin A - cos A)])`

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

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

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

= `2/2 = 1`

= RHS

Hence proved.

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))`

`= sec^2 theta/tan theta`

`= sec theta sec theta/tan theta`

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

`= sec theta cosec theta`

R.H.S. = `(sin(90^circ - A))/(cos A)`

∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Prove that: `(sec θ - tan θ)/(sec θ + tan θ ) = 1 - 2 sec θ.tan θ + 2 tan^2θ`

LHS = `(sec θ - tan θ)/(sec θ + tan θ )`

= `(sec θ - tan θ)/(sec θ + tan θ ) xx (sec θ - tan θ)/(sec θ - tan θ )`

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

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

= 1 + 2 tan2θ − 2 sec θ. tan θ

= R.H.S.
Hence proved.

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

`(tan^2 A)/(1 + tan^2 A) + (cot^2 A)/(1 + cot^2 A) = 1`

In the given question, we need to prove `(tan^2 A)/(1 + tan^2 A) + (cot^2 A)/(1 + cot^2 A) = 1`

Here, we will first solve the LHS.

Now using `tan theta = sin theta/cos theta` and `cot theta = cos theta/sin theta` we get

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

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

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

On further solving by taking the reciprocal of the denominator, we get,

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

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

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.

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.

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 + tan2 θ) (1 − sin θ) (1 + sin θ) = 1

We have to prove `(1 + tan^2 theta)(1 - sin theta)(1 + sin theta) = 1`

We know that

`sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = 1`

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

So

`(1 + tan^2 theta)(1 - sin theta) = (1 + tan^2 theta){(1 - sin theta)(1 + sin theta)}`

` = (1 + tan^2 theta)(1 - sin^2 theta)`

`= sec^2 theta cos^2 theta`

` = 1/cos^2 theta cos^2 theta`

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`

= RHS

Hence proved

= `(sqrt( secθ - 1) sqrt( secθ - 1) + sqrt( secθ + 1)sqrt( secθ + 1))/(sqrt(secθ - 1)sqrt(secθ + 1))`

= `((sqrt( secθ - 1))^2 + (sqrt( secθ + 1))^2)/(sqrt(secθ - 1)sqrt(secθ + 1))`

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

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

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

Prove the following trigonometric identities:

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

We have to prove `(1 + tan^2 theta)/(1 + cot^2 theta) = ((1 - tan theta)/(1 - cot theta))^2 = tan^2 theta`

Consider the expression

L.H.S

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

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

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

`= tan^2 theta` 

= R.H.S

Again, we have 

L.H.S

`((1 - tan theta)/(1 - cot theta))^2 = ((1 - tan theta)/(1 - 1/(tan theta)))^2`

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

`=[(tantheta(1-tantheta))/-(1-tantheta)]^2`

`=(-tantheta)^2=tan^2theta`

= R.H.S

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.

`= ((cos theta + 1)/cos theta)/(1/cos theta)`

`= (1 + cos theta)/1`

Multiplying the numerator and denominator by `(1 - cos theta)` we have

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

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

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

Prove the following trigonometric identity:

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

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

LHS = `sqrt((1 + sin A)/(1 - sin A)`

Rationalize the numerator abd denominator with `sqrt(1 + sin A)`

LHS = `sqrt(((1 + sin A)(1 + sin A))/((1 - sin A)(1 + sin A)))`

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

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

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

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

= sec A + tan A

= RHS

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

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

In the given question, we need to prove `(1 + cos theta - sin^2 theta)/(sin theta (1 + cos theta)) = cot theta`

Using the property  `sin^2 theta + cot^2 theta = 1` we get

So

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

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

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

Solving further, we get

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

`= cos theta/sin theta`

`= cot theta`

Hence proved.

Prove the following trigonometric identities:

tan2 A + cot2 A = sec2 A cosec2 A − 2

In the given question, we need to prove tan2 A + cot2 A = sec2 A cosec2 A − 2

Now using `tan theta = sin theta/cos theta` and `cot theta = cos theta/sin theta` in LHS we get

`tan^2 A + cot^2  A = sin^2 A/cos^2 A + cos^2 A/sin^2 A`

`= (sin^4 A + cos^4 A)/(cos^2 A sin^2 A)`

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

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

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

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

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

`= cosec^2 A sec^2 A - 2`

Since L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence proved.

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

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

In the given question, we need to prove `(cos theta)/(cosec theta + 1) + (cos theta)/(cosec theta - 1) = 2 tan theta`

Using the identity `a^2 - b^2  = (a + b)(a - b)`

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

`= (cos theta (cosec theta - 1 + cosec theta + 1))/(cosec^2 theta -1)  = (cos theta(2 cosec theta))/cot^2 theta`

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

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

`= 2 sin theta/cos theta`

`= 2 tan theta`

Hence proved.

If tan A = cot B, prove that A + B = 90°.

∵ tan A = cot B

tan A = tan (90° – B)

A = 90° – B

A + B = 90°. Proved

Prove that `(tan A)/(cot A) = (sec^2A)/("cosec"^2A)`.

R.H.S. = `(sec^2A)/("cosec"^2A)`

= `(1 + tan^2A)/(1 + cot^2A)`   ...`[(∵ 1 + tan^2A = sec^2A),(1 + cot^2A = "cosec"^2A)]`

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

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

= `(1/(cos^2A))/(1/(sin^2A))`   ...[∵ sin2A + cos2A = 1]

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

= tan2A

= tan A . tan A

= `(tan A)/(cot A)`

= L.H.S.

∴ `(tan A)/(cot A) = (sec^2A)/("cosec"^2A)`

Without using trigonometric tables, prove that:

sec 70° sin 20° + cos 20° cosec 70° = 2

LHS = sec 70° sin 70° + cos 20° cosec 70°

= sec (90° - 20°) sin 20° + cos 20° cosec (90° - 20°) 

`= "cosec" 20°. 1/("cosec" 20°)+ 1/(sec 20°)  sec 20°`

= 1 + 1

= 2 

= RHS 

Prove the following trigonometric identities:

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

We have to prove `((1 + cot^2 theta) tan theta)/sec^2 theta = cot theta`

We know that, `sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta = 1`

So

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

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

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

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

`= 1/tan theta`

`= cot theta`

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

(secθ + cosθ) (secθ − cosθ) = tan2θ + sin2θ

We have to prove`(sec theta + cos theta)(sec theta - cos theta) = tan^2 theta + sin^2 theta`

We know that

`sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = 1`

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

`(sec theta + cos theta)(sec theta - cos theta) = sec^2 theta - cos^2 theta`

`= (1 + tan^2 theta) - (1 - sin^2 theta)`

`= 1 + tan^2 theta - 1 + sin^2 theta`

`= tan^2 theta + sin^2 theta`
