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