Question
Complete the following activity to prove:
cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ
Activity: L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ
= `cosθ/sinθ + square/cosθ`
= `(square + sin^2theta)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`
= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ....... ∵ `square`
= `1/sinθ xx 1/cosθ`
= `square xx secθ`
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Solution
L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ
= `cosθ/sinθ + sinθ/cosθ`
= `(cos^2θ + sin^2theta)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`
= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ....... ∵ sin2θ cos2θ = 1
= `1/sinθ xx 1/cosθ`
= cosecθ × secθ
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
