Questions

Prove that: `sqrt((1 - cos θ)/(1 + cos θ)) = "cosec" θ - cot θ`.

Prove the following:

`sqrt((1 - cos θ)/(1 + cos θ)) = "cosec" θ - cot θ`

Theorem

Solution

LHS = `sqrt((1 - cos θ)/(1 + cos θ) xx (1 - cos θ)/(1 - cos θ))`

= `sqrt((1 - cos θ)^2/(1 - cos^2θ))`

= `(1 - cos θ)/(sqrt(1 - cos^2θ))` 

= `(1 - cos θ)/(sqrt(sin^2θ))`

= `(1 - cos θ)/(sin θ)`

= `(1)/(sin θ) - (cos θ)/(sin θ)`

= cosec θ − cot θ
= RHS
Hence proved.
