Advertisements
Solution
To Prove: `((1 + tan^2 A))/((1 + cot^2 A))` = sec2 A – 1
LHS.
We have, `(((1 + sin^2 A)/(cos^2 A)))/(((1 + cos^2 A)/(sin^2 A)))`
= `[(((cos^2 A + sin^2 A))/(cos^2 A))/(((sin^2 A + cos^2 A))/(sin^2 A))]`
= `((1/cos^2 A))/((1/sin^2 A))` ...[As sin2 A + cos2 A = 1]
= `((sin^2 A))/((cos^2 A))`
= tan2 A
= sec2 A – 1
Hence, proved.
