Question
Prove the following trigonometric identities.
`tan A/(1 + tan^2 A)^2 + cot A/((1 + cot^2 A)) = sin A cos A`
Advertisements
Solution
We have to prove `tan A/(1 + tan^2 A)^2 + cot A/((1 + cot^2 A)) = sin A cos A`
We know that `sin^2 A + cos^2 A = 1`
So
`tan A/(1 + tan^2 A)^2 + cot A/(1 + cot^2 A)^2`
`= tan A/(sec^2 A)^2 + cot A/(cosec^2 A)^2`
`= tan A/sec^4 A + cot A/(cosec^4 A)`
`= (sin A/cos A)/(1/cos^4 A) + (cos A/sin A)/(1/sin^4 A)`
`= (sin A cos^4 A)/cos A + (cos A sin^4 A)/sin A`
`= sin A cos^3 A + cos A sin^3 A`
`= sin A cos A (cos^2 A + sin^2 A)`
= sin A cos A
Hence proved.

If cot θ = `40/9`, find the values of cosec θ and sinθ,
We have, 1 + cot2θ = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
`(square + square)/square` = cosec2θ
`square/square` = cosec2θ ......[Taking root on the both side]
cosec θ = `41/9`
and sin θ = `1/("cosec" θ)`
sin θ = `1/square`
∴ sin θ = `9/41`
The value is cosec θ = `41/9`, and sin θ = `9/41`
