Prove that:
If \[\tan\theta + \frac{1}{\tan\theta} = 2\], then show that \[\tan^2 \theta + \frac{1}{\tan^2 \theta} = 2\]

Solution
\[\tan\theta + \frac{1}{\tan\theta} = 2\]
Squaring on both sides, we get
\[\left( \tan\theta + \frac{1}{\tan\theta} \right)^2 = 2^2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow \tan^2 \theta + \frac{1}{\tan^2 \theta} + 2 \times \tan\theta \times \frac{1}{\tan\theta} = 4\] ... (using (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2)
\[ \Rightarrow \tan^2 \theta + \frac{1}{\tan^2 \theta} + 2 = 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow \tan^2 \theta + \frac{1}{\tan^2 \theta} = 4 - 2 = 2\]

Prove that: (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) = tan θ.sec θ
Proof: L.H.S. = (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ)
= `(1/square - cos θ) (square/square + square/square)` ......`[∵ sec θ = 1/square, cot θ = square/square and tan θ = square/square]`
= `((1 - square)/square) ((square + square)/(square square))`
= `square/square xx 1/(square square)` ......`[(∵ square + square = 1),(∴ square = 1 - square)]`
= `square/(square square)`
= tan θ.sec θ
= R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) = tan θ.sec θ
