Question
Prove the following:
`1 + (cot^2 alpha)/(1 + "cosec" alpha)` = cosec α
Advertisements
Solution
L.H.S = `1 + (cot^2 alpha)/(1 + "cosec" alpha)`
= `1 + ((cos^2 alpha)/(sin^2 alpha))/((1 + 1)/(sin alpha))` ...`[∵ cot theta = (cos theta)/(sin theta) "and" "cosec" theta = 1/sin theta]`
= `1 + (cos^2 alpha)/(sinalpha (1 + sin alpha))`
= `(sin alpha(1 + sin alpha) + cos^2 alpha)/(sin alpha(1 + sin alpha))`
= `(sin alpha + (sin^2 alpha + cos^2 alpha))/(sin alpha(1 + sin alpha)` ...[∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]
= `((sin alpha + 1))/(sin alpha(sin alpha + 1))`
= `1/sinalpha` ...`[∵ "cosec" theta = 1/sin theta]`
= cosec α
= R.H.S
