Question
Prove the following.
\[\frac{\tan\theta}{\sec\theta + 1} = \frac{\sec\theta - 1}{\tan\theta}\]

Solution
\[\frac{\tan\theta}{\sec\theta + 1}\]
\[ = \frac{\tan\theta}{\sec\theta + 1} \times \frac{\sec\theta - 1}{\sec\theta - 1}\]
\[ = \frac{\tan\theta\left( \sec\theta - 1 \right)}{\sec^2 \theta - 1}\]
\[ = \frac{\tan\theta\left( \sec\theta - 1 \right)}{\tan^2 \theta} \] ...(1 + tan2θ = sec2θ)
\[ = \frac{\sec\theta - 1}{\tan\theta}\]

Prove that: (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) = tan θ.sec θ
Proof: L.H.S. = (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ)
= `(1/square - cos θ) (square/square + square/square)` ......`[∵ sec θ = 1/square, cot θ = square/square and tan θ = square/square]`
= `((1 - square)/square) ((square + square)/(square square))`
= `square/square xx 1/(square square)` ......`[(∵ square + square = 1),(∴ square = 1 - square)]`
= `square/(square square)`
= tan θ.sec θ
= R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) = tan θ.sec θ
