Question
Prove the following identities:
`(1 + sin A)/(1 - sin A) = (cosec A + 1)/(cosec A - 1)`
Advertisements
Solution
R.H.S = `(1/(sin A) + 1)/(1/(sin A) - 1)`
= `((1 + sin A)/sin A)/((1 - sin A)/sin A)`
= `((1 + sin A))/cancelsin A xx cancelsin A/((1 - sin A))`
= `(1 + sin A)/(1 - sin A)`
∴ R.H.S = L.H.S
