Question

Prove that `(1 + sin B)/(cos B) + (cos B)/(1 + sin B) = 2 sec B`.

Theorem

Solution

L.H.S = `(1 + sin B)/(cos B) + (cos B)/(1 + sin B)`

= `((1 + sin B)^2 + cos^2B)/(cos B(1 + sin B))`

= `(1 + 2 sin B + sin^2B + cos^2B)/(cos B(1 + sin B))`   ...[∵ (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2]

= `(1 + 2 sin B + 1)/(cos B(1 + sin B))`   ...[∵ sin2B + cos2B = 1]

= `(2 + 2 sin B)/(cos B(1 + sin B))`

= `(2(1 + sin B))/(cos B(1 + sin B))`

= `2/(cos B)`

= 2 sec B

= R.H.S.

∴ `(1 + sin B)/(cos B) + (cos B)/(1 + sin B) = 2 sec B`

Show that, cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ

Solution :

L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ

= `cosθ/sinθ + sinθ/cosθ`

= `(square + square)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`

= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ............... `square`

= `1/sinθ xx 1/square`

= cosecθ × secθ

L.H.S. = R.H.S

∴ cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ
