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