Question

Prove that `sqrt((1 + sin A)/(1 - sin A))` = sec A + tan A.

Theorem

Solution

LHS = `sqrt((1 + sin A)/(1 - sin A))`

= `sqrt((1 + sin A)/(1 - sin A) xx (1 + sin A)/(1 + sin A)`

= `sqrt((1 + sin A)^2/(1 - sin^2 A))`

= `sqrt((1 + sin A)^2/cos^2 A)`

= `(1 + sin A)/cos A`

= sec A + tan A = RHS
