Question
Prove the following identity :
cosecθ(1 + cosθ)(cosecθ - cotθ) = 1
Advertisements
Solution
LHS = cosecθ(1 + cosθ)(cosecθ - cotθ)
= `1/sinθ(1 + cosθ)(1/sinθ - cosθ/sinθ)`
= `((1 + cosθ))/sinθ ((1-cosθ)/sinθ)`
= `(1 - cos^2θ)/sin^2θ = sin^2θ/sin^2θ = 1 = RHS`

= `cosθ/sinθ + square/cosθ`
= `(square + sin^2theta)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`
= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ....... ∵ `square`
= `1/sinθ xx 1/cosθ`
= `square xx secθ`
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
