Solution
If sinA + sin2A = 1, then the value of the expression (cos2A + cos4A) is 1.
Explanation:
Given,
sinA + sin2A = 1
⇒ sinA = 1 – sin2A = cos2A ...[∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]
On squaring both sides, we get
sin2A = cos4A
⇒ 1 – cos2A = cos4A
⇒ cos2A + cos4A = 1

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
