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`

If sec θ = `25/7`, find the value of tan θ.
Solution:
1 + tan2 θ = sec2 θ
∴ 1 + tan2 θ = `(25/7)^square`
∴ tan2 θ = `625/49 - square`
= `(625 - 49)/49`
= `square/49`
∴ tan θ = `square/7` ........(by taking square roots)
