Questions

Prove that:

`(cot A - 1)/(2 - sec^2 A) = cot A/(1 + tan A)` 

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

`(cot A - 1)/(2 - sec^2 A) = cot A/(1 + tan A)` 

Theorem

Solution

L.H.S. = `(cot A - 1)/(2 - sec^2A)`

= `(((1 - tan A))/tan A)/(1 + 1 - sec^2A)` 

= `(((1 - tan A))/tan A)/(1 - tan^2A)` 

=  `(((1 - tan A))/(tan A))/((1 + tan A)(1 - tan A))`

= `(1/tan A)/(1 + tan A)`

= `cot A/(1 + tan A)`

= R.H.S.

Hence proved.
