Question

Prove that `cosA/(1+sinA) + tan A =  secA`

Advertisements

Solution

L.H.S `cosA/(1+sinA) + tan A`

`= (cos A(1-sinA))/((1+sinA)(1-sinA)) + sinA/cosA`

`= (cosA - sinAcosA)/(1-sin^2A) + sinA/cosA`

`= (cosA - sinAcosA)/cos^2A + sinA/cosA`

`= 1/cosA - sinA/cosA + sinA/cosA`

`= 1/cosA`

= secA
