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

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

If cot θ = `40/9`, find the values of cosec θ and sinθ,
We have, 1 + cot2θ = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
`(square + square)/square` = cosec2θ
`square/square` = cosec2θ ......[Taking root on the both side]
cosec θ = `41/9`
and sin θ = `1/("cosec" θ)`
sin θ = `1/square`
∴ sin θ = `9/41`
The value is cosec θ = `41/9`, and sin θ = `9/41`
Prove that (sec θ + tan θ) (1 – sin θ) = cos θ
