Question
Prove the following trigonometric identities.
`(1 - tan^2 A)/(cot^2 A -1) = tan^2 A`
Advertisements
Solution
`(1 - sin^2 A/cos^2 A)/(cos^2 A/sin^2 A -1) = ((cos^2 A - sin^2 A)/cos^2 A)/((cos^2 A - sin^2 A)/sin^2 A`
`= (sin^2 A)/cos^2 A`
`= tan^2 A`

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)
