Question
Prove that secθ + tanθ =`(costheta)/(1-sintheta)`.
Advertisements
Solution
secθ + tanθ = `1/cosθ + sintheta/cosθ`
`=(1+sintheta)/costheta`
`=((1+sintheta)(1-sintheta))/(costheta (1-sintheta))`
`=(1^2 - sin^2theta)/(costheta(1-sintheta))`
`=cos^2theta/(costheta(1-sintheta))`
`therefore sectheta +tantheta =costheta/(1-sintheta)`

Solution :
L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ
= `cosθ/sinθ + sinθ/cosθ`
= `(square + square)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`
= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ............... `square`
= `1/sinθ xx 1/square`
= cosecθ × secθ
L.H.S. = R.H.S
∴ cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ
