Prove the following identity :
`(secθ - tanθ)^2 = (1 - sinθ)/(1 + sinθ)`
Advertisements
उत्तर
`(secθ - tanθ)^2`
= `(1/cosθ - sinθ/cosθ)^2`
= `((1 - sinθ)/cosθ)^2 = (1 - sinθ)^2/cos^2θ`
= `(1 - sinθ)^2/(1 - sin^2θ) = (1 - sinθ)^2/((1 -sinθ)(1 + sinθ))` (∵ `1 - sin^2θ = cos^2θ`
= `(1 - sinθ)/(1 + sinθ)`

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`
