Question

Prove that `(cos(90^circ - A))/(sin A) = (sin(90^circ - A))/(cos A)`.

Theorem

Solution

L.H.S. = `(cos(90^circ - A))/(sin A)`

= `(sin A)/(sin A)`

= 1

R.H.S. = `(sin(90^circ - A))/(cos A)`

= `(cos A)/(cos A)`

= 1

∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.

cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ

Activity: L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ

= `cosθ/sinθ + square/cosθ`

= `(square + sin^2theta)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`

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

= `1/sinθ xx 1/cosθ`

= `square xx secθ`

∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
