Question
Prove the following identities, where the angles involved are acute angles for which the expressions are defined:
`sqrt((1+sinA)/(1-sinA)) = secA + tanA`
Advertisements
Solution
L.H.S
= `sqrt((1+sinA)/(1-sinA))`
= `sqrt(((1+sinA)(1+sinA))/((1-sinA)(1+sinA))`
= `(1+sinA)/(sqrt(1-sin^2A))`
= `(1+sinA)/sqrt(cos^2A)`
= `(1+sinA)/cosA`
= secA + tan A
= `1/cos A + sin A/cos A`
= R.H.S
