Question

Prove that `(sec A)/(tan A + cot A) = sin A`.

Theorem

Solution

L.H.S. = `(sec A)/(tan A + cot A)`

= `(sec A)/((sin A)/(cos A) + (cos A)/(sin A))`

= `(sec A)/((sin^2A + cos^2A)/(cosA sinA))`

= `(sec A)/(1/(cosA sinA))`   ...[∵ sin2A + cos2A = 1]

= sec A cos A sin A

= `1/(cos A) xx cos A sin A`

= sin A

= R.H.S.

∴ `(sec A)/(tan A + cot A) = sin A`
