Question
Prove that `(1 + sintheta)/(1 - sin theta)` = (sec θ + tan θ)2
Advertisements
Solution
L.H.S = `(1 + sintheta)/(1 - sin theta)`
= `((1 + sintheta)/(costheta))/((1 - sintheta)/(costheta))` ......[Dividing numerator and denominator by cos θ]
= `(1/costheta + (sintheta)/(costheta))/(1/costheta - (sintheta)/(costheta)`
= `(sectheta + tantheta)/(sectheta - tantheta)`
= `(sectheta + tantheta)/(sectheta - tantheta) xx (sectheta + tantheta)/(sectheta + tantheta)` ......[On rationalising the denominator]
= `(sectheta + tantheta)^2/(sec^2theta - tan^2theta)`
= `(sectheta + tantheta)^2/1` ......`[(because 1 + tan^2theta = sec^2theta),(therefore sec^2theta - tan^2theta = 1)]`
= (sec θ + tan θ)2
= R.H.S
∴ `(1 + sintheta)/(1 - sin theta)` = (sec θ + tan θ)2

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)
