Question
Prove the following trigonometric identities.
`cos A/(1 - tan A) + sin A/(1 - cot A) = sin A + cos A`
Advertisements
Solution
We need to prove `cos A/(1 - tan A) + sin A/(1 - cot A) = sin A + cos `
Solving the L.H.S, we get
`cos A/(1 - tan A) + sin A/(1 - cot A)`
= `cos A/(1 - sin A/cos A) + sin A/(1 - cos A/sin A)`
`= cos A/((cos A - sin A)/cos A) + sin A/((sin A - cos A)/sin A)`
`= cos^2 A/(cos A - sin A) + (sin^2 A)/(sin A - cos A)`
`= (cos^2 A - sin^2 A)/(cos A - sin A)`
`= ((cos A + sin A)(cos A - sin A))/(cos A - sin A)` [using `a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a -b)`]
= cos A + sin A
= RHS
Hence proved.
