Question
Prove that:
`1/(cosA + sinA - 1) + 1/(cosA + sinA + 1) = cosecA + secA`
Advertisements
Solution
L.H.S. = `1/(cosA + sinA - 1) + 1/(cosA + sinA + 1)`
= `(cosA + sinA + 1 + cosA + sinA - 1)/((cosA + sinA)^2 - 1)`
= `(2(cosA + sinA))/(cos^2A + sin^2A + 2cosAsinA - 1)`
= `(2(cosA + sinA))/(1 + 2cosAsinA - 1)`
= `(cosA + sinA)/(cosAsinA)`
= `cosA/(cosAsinA) + sinA/(cosAsinA)`
= `1/sinA + 1/cosA`
= cosec A + sec A = R.H.S.
