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

= `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.
