Question
Prove the following identity :
`(1 + cosA)/(1 - cosA) = (cosecA + cotA)^2`
Advertisements
Solution
`(1 + cosA)/(1 - cosA) = (cosecA + cotA)^2`
= `(1 + cosA)/(1 - cosA).(1 + cosA)/(1 + cosA)`
= `((1 + cosA)^2)/(1 - cos^2A) = (1 + cosA)^2/sin^2A`
= `[(1 + cosA)/sinA]^2 = [1/sinA + cosA/sinA]^2`
= `(cosecA + cotA)^2`

If cot θ = `40/9`, find the values of cosec θ and sinθ,
We have, 1 + cot2θ = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
`(square + square)/square` = cosec2θ
`square/square` = cosec2θ ......[Taking root on the both side]
cosec θ = `41/9`
and sin θ = `1/("cosec" θ)`
sin θ = `1/square`
∴ sin θ = `9/41`
The value is cosec θ = `41/9`, and sin θ = `9/41`
