Question
If tan θ = `a/b` prove that `(a sin theta - b cos theta)/(a sin theta + b cos theta) = (a^2 - b^2)/(a^2 + b^2)`

Solution
Let `(a sin theta - b cos theta)/(a sin theta + b cos theta)`
Divide both Nr and Dr with cos θ of (a)
`((a sin theta - b cos theta)/cos theta)/((a sin theta + b cos theta)/cos theta)`
`= (tan theta - b)/(a tan theta + b)`
`=(a xx (a/b) - b)/(a xx (a/b) + b)`
`= (a^2 - b^2)/(a^2 + b^2)`

Prove that: cot θ + tan θ = cosec θ·sec θ
Proof: L.H.S. = cot θ + tan θ
= `square/square + square/square` ......`[∵ cot θ = square/square, tan θ = square/square]`
= `(square + square)/(square xx square)` .....`[∵ square + square = 1]`
= `1/(square xx square)`
= `1/square xx 1/square`
= cosec θ·sec θ ......`[∵ "cosec" θ = 1/square, sec θ = 1/square]`
= R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ cot θ + tan θ = cosec·sec θ
