Question
Prove that `((1 - cos^2 θ)/cos θ)((1 - sin^2θ)/(sin θ)) = 1/(tan θ + cot θ)`
Advertisements
Solution
LHS = `((1 - cos^2 θ)/cos θ)((1 - sin^2θ)/(sin θ))`
LHS = `(sin^2 θ/cos θ). (cos^2 θ/sin θ)`
LHS = sin θ. cos θ
RHS = `1/(tan θ + cot θ)`
RHS = `1/((sin^2 θ + cos^2 θ)/(sin θ. cos θ))`
RHS = `(sin θ. cos θ)/(sin^2 θ + cos^2 θ)`
RHS = sin θ. cos θ
LHS = RHS
Hence proved.
