Question
Prove that `sin(90^circ - A).cos(90^circ - A) = tanA/(1 + tan^2A)`
Advertisements
Solution
LHS = `sin(90^circ - A).cos(90^circ - A)`
⇒ cosA.sinA
RHS = `tanA/(1 + tan^2A) = tanA/sec^2A = (sinA/cosA)/(1/cos^2A)`
⇒ RHS = `sinA/cosA . cos^2A = cosA.sinA`
Thus , LHS = RHS
⇒ `sin(90^circ - A).cos(90^circ - A) = tanA/(1 + tan^2A)`

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.
