Definitions [5]
When an equation, involving trigonometrical ratios of an angle A, is true for all values of A, the equation is called a trigonometric identity.
The straight line joining the eye of the observer to the point on the object being viewed.

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.

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.

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.

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

∴ 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`

`(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)`

Prove the following trigonometric identities.
`tan theta + 1/tan theta` = sec θ.cosec θ
We know that `sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta = 1`
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 )`

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`

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`
`(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`

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

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 = c2
– 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 – c2
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.

If cosα + cosβ = 0 = sinα + sinβ, then prove that cos2α + cos2β = -2cos(α + β).
[Hint: (cosα + cosβ)2 - (sinα + sinβ)2 = 0]
Given that: cosα + cosβ = 0
And sinα + sinβ = 0
∴ (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

[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))`
