Question
Prove the following identities:
`sqrt((1 - cosA)/(1 + cosA)) = sinA/(1 + cosA)`
Advertisements
Solution
L.H.S. = `sqrt((1 - cosA)/(1 + cosA))`
= `sqrt((1 - cosA)/(1 + cosA) xx (1 + cosA)/(1 + cosA))`
= `sqrt((1 - cos^2A)/(1 + cosA)^2)`
= `sqrt(sin^2A/(1 + cosA)^2)`
= `sinA/(1 + cosA)` = R.H.S.
