Question
Prove the following identities:
sec2 A . cosec2 A = tan2 A + cot2 A + 2
Advertisements
Solution
L.H.S. = sec2 A . cosec2 A
= `1/(cos^2A) * 1/(sin^2A)`
= `1/(cos^2A sin^2A)`
= `(sin^2A + cos^2A)/(cos^2A sin^2A)`
= `1/(cos^2A) + 1/(sin^2A)`
= sec2 A + cosec2 A
= 1 + tan2 A + 1 + cot2 A ...(∵ sec2 A = 1 + tan2 A and cosec2 A = 1 + cot2 A)
= tan2 A + cot2 A + 2 = R.H.S.
