Question
Prove the following identities.
`sqrt((1 + sin theta)/(1 - sin theta)` = sec θ + tan θ
Advertisements
Solution
L.H.S. = `sqrt((1 + sin theta)/(1 - sin theta)`
= `sqrt(((1 + sin theta)(1 + sin theta))/((1 - sin theta)(1 + sin theta))` ...[conjugate (1 − sin θ)]
= `sqrt((1 + sin theta)^2/(1 - sin^2 theta)`
= `sqrt((1 + sin theta)^2/(cos^2 theta)`
= `(1 + sin theta)/(cos theta)`
= `1/cos theta + sin theta/cos theta`
= sec θ + tan θ
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
