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)`

Complete the following activity to prove:
cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ
Activity: L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ
= `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.
