Question

Prove that sec2θ + cosec2θ = sec2θ × cosec2θ.

Theorem

Solution

L.H.S. = sec2θ + cosec2θ

= `1/(cos^2θ) + 1/(sin^2θ)`

= `(sin^2θ + cos^2θ)/(cos^2θ.sin^2θ)`

= `1/(cos^2θ.sin^2θ)`   ...[∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]

= `1/(cos^2θ) xx 1/(sin^2θ)`

= sec2θ × cosec2θ

= R.H.S.

∴ sec2θ + cosec2θ = sec2θ × cosec2θ
