Prove that `(sin θ tan θ)/(1 - cos θ) = 1 + sec θ.`
Advertisements
Solution
LHS = `( sin θ tan θ)/(1 - cos θ)`
= `(sin θ. (sin θ)/(cos θ))/(1 - cos θ)`
= `sin^2 θ/(cos θ( 1 - cos θ))`
= `((1 - cos θ)(1 + cos θ))/(cos θ(1 - cos θ))`
= `(1 + cos θ)/(cos θ) = 1/(cos θ) + cos θ/cos θ`
= sec θ + 1
= RHS
Hence proved.
