Question
Prove the following identities:
`cot^2A/(cosecA + 1)^2 = (1 - sinA)/(1 + sinA)`
Advertisements
Solution
R.H.S. = `(1 - sinA)/(1 + sinA)`
= `(1 - 1/(cosecA))/(1 + 1/(cosecA))`
= `(cosecA - 1)/(cosecA + 1)`
= `(cosecA - 1)/(cosecA + 1) xx (cosecA + 1)/(cosecA + 1)`
= `(cosec^2A - 1)/(cosecA + 1)^2 = cot^2A/(cosecA + 1)^2` ...(∵ cosec2 A – 1 = cot2 A)
= L.H.S.
