Question

Prove the following identities:

`1/(sinA + cosA) + 1/(sinA - cosA) = (2sinA)/(1 - 2cos^2A)`

Sum

Solution

L.H.S. = `1/(sinA + cosA) + 1/(sinA - cosA)`

= `(sinA - cosA + sinA + cosA)/((sinA + cosA)(sinA - cosA))`

= `(2sinA)/(sin^2A - cos^2A)`

= `(2sinA)/(1 - cos^2A - cos^2A)`     ...(∵ sin2A = 1 – cos2A)

= `(2sinA)/(1 - 2cos^2A)`

= R.H.S.
