Question
Prove the following identities:
`(secA - tanA)/(secA + tanA) = 1 - 2secAtanA + 2tan^2A`
Advertisements
Solution
L.H.S. = `(secA - tanA)/(secA + tanA)`
= `(secA - tanA)/(secA + tanA) xx (secA - tanA)/(secA - tanA)`
= `(secA - tanA)^2/(sec^2A - tan^2A)`
= `(sec^2A + tan^2A - 2secAtanA)/1`
= 1 + tan2 A + tan2 A – 2 sec A tan A
= 1 – 2 sec A tan A + 2 tan2 A = R.H.S.
