Questions

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

`tan theta + 1/tan theta` = sec θ.cosec θ

Prove the following:

`tan theta + 1/tan theta` = sec θ.cosec θ

Theorem

Solution

We know that `sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta = 1`

So,

`tan theta + 1/tan theta = (tan^2 theta + 1)/tan theta`

`= sec^2 theta/tan theta`

`= sec theta sec theta/tan theta`

`= sec theta = (1/cos theta)/(sin theta/cos theta)`

`= sec theta cosec theta`
