Question
Prove the following trigonometric identities.
(1 + tan2θ) (1 − sinθ) (1 + sinθ) = 1
Advertisements
Solution
We have to prove `(1 + tan^2 theta)(1 - sin theta)(1 + sin theta) = 1`
We know that
`sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = 1`
`sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta = 1`
So
`(1 + tan^2 theta)(1 - sin theta) = (1 + tan^2 theta){(1 - sin theta)(1 + sin theta)}`
` = (1 + tan^2 theta)(1 - sin^2 theta)`
`= sec^2 theta cos^2 theta`
` = 1/cos^2 theta cos^2 theta`
= 1
