Question
Prove the following trigonometric identities
`((1 + sin theta)^2 + (1 + sin theta)^2)/(2cos^2 theta) = (1 + sin^2 theta)/(1 - sin^2 theta)`
Advertisements
Solution
LHS = `(1 sin^2 theta + 2 sin theta + 1 + sin^2 theta - 2 sin theta)/(2 cos theta)`
`=> (2(1 + sin^2 theta))/(2 cos^2 theta) => (1 + sin^2 theta)/(1 - sin^2 theta)` `[∵ cos^2 theta = 1 - sin^2 theta]`
∴ LHS = RHS Hence proved

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)
