Questions

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

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

Theorem
Advertisements

Solution

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.
