Question
Prove that `sintheta/(sectheta+ 1) +sintheta/(sectheta - 1)` = 2 cot θ
Advertisements
Solution
L.H.S = `sintheta/(sectheta+ 1) +sintheta/(sectheta - 1)`
= `sintheta/(1/costheta + 1) + sintheta/(1/costheta - 1`
= `sintheta/((1 + costheta)/costheta) + sintheta/((1 - costheta)/(costheta))`
= `(sintheta costheta)/(1 + costheta) + (sintheta costheta)/(1 - costheta)`
= `sin theta costheta (1 /(1 + costheta) + 1/(1 - costheta))`
= `sintheta costheta [(1 - costheta + 1 + costheta)/((1 + costheta)(1 - costheta))]`
= `sintheta costheta (2/(1 - cos^2theta))` ......[∵ (a + b)(a – b) = a2 – b2]
= `sintheta costheta xx 2/(sin^2theta)` .....`[(because sin^2theta + cos^2theta = 1),(therefore 1 - cos^2theta = sin^2theta)]`
= `2 xx (costheta)/(sintheta)`
= 2cot θ
= R.H.S
∴ `sintheta/(sectheta+ 1) +sintheta/(sectheta - 1)` = 2 cot θ
