Question
Prove that:
(tan A + cot A) (cosec A – sin A) (sec A – cos A) = 1
Advertisements
Solution
(tan A + cot A) (cosec A – sin A) (sec A – cos A)
= `(sinA/cosA + cosA/sinA)(1/sinA - sinA)(1/cosA - cosA)`
= `((sin^2A + cos^2A)/(sinAcosA))((1 - sin^2A)/sinA)((1 - cos^2A)/cosA)`
= `(1/(sinAcosA))(cos^2A/sinA)(sin^2A/cosA)`
= 1
