Question
Prove the following identity :
`(sec^2θ - sin^2θ)/tan^2θ = cosec^2θ - cos^2θ`
Advertisements
Solution
LHS = `(sec^2θ - sin^2θ)/tan^2θ`
= `(1/cos^2θ - sin^2θ)/(sin^2θ/cos^2θ)`
= `(1 - sin^2θcos^2θ)/((cos^2θ)/(sin^2θ/cos^2θ))`
= `(1 - sin^2θcos^2θ)/sin^2θ`
= `1/sin^2θ - (sin^2θcos^2θ)/(sin^2θ)`
= `cosec^2θ - cos^2θ`
