Solution
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 – B2 – cos2 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.

Show that, cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ
Solution :
L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ
= `cosθ/sinθ + sinθ/cosθ`
= `(square + square)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`
= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ............... `square`
= `1/sinθ xx 1/square`
= cosecθ × secθ
L.H.S. = R.H.S
∴ cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ
