Question
Prove the following identity :
`sinA/(1 + cosA) + (1 + cosA)/sinA = 2cosecA`
Advertisements
Solution
`sinA/(1 + cosA) + (1 + cosA)/sinA = 2cosecA`
`(1 + cosA)/sinA + sinA/(1 + cosA)`
= `((1 + cosA)^2 + sin^2A)/(sinA(1 + cosA))`
= `(1 + 2cosA + cos^2A + sin^2A)/(sinA(1 + cosA))`
= `(2 + 2cosA)/(sinA(1 + cosA))`
= `(2(1 + cosA))/(sinA(1 + cosA)` [`sin^2A + cos^2A = 1`]
= 2 cosec A
