Question
Prove the following identity :
`cosec^4A - cosec^2A = cot^4A + cot^2A`
Advertisements
Solution
LHS = `cosec^4A - cosec^2A`
= `cosec^2A(cosec^2A - 1)`
RHS = `cot^4A + cot^2A`
= `cot^2A(cot^2A + 1)`
= `(cosec^2A - 1)cosec^2A`
Thus , LHS = RHS

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`
