Question
Prove the following identity :
`1/(cosA + sinA - 1) + 2/(cosA + sinA + 1) = cosecA + secA`
Advertisements
Solution
LHS = `1/((cosA + sinA) - 1) + 1/((cosA + sinA) + 1)`
= `(cosA + sinA + 1 + cosA + sinA - 1)/((cosA + sinA)^2 -1)`
= `(2(cosA + sinA))/(cos^2A + sin^2A + 2cosAsinA - 1)`
= `(2(cosA + sinA))/(1 + 2cosAsinA - 1) = (cosA + sinA)/(cosAsinA)`
= `cosA/(cosAsinA) + sinA/(cosAsinA)`
= `1/sinA + 1/cosA`
= cosecA + secA
