Questions

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

(sec2 θ − 1) (cosec2 θ − 1) = 1

Prove the following:

(sec2 θ − 1) (cosec2 θ − 1) = 1

Theorem

Solution

We know that

sec2 θ − tan2 θ = 1

cosec2 θ − cot2 θ = 1

So,

(sec2 θ − 1)(cosec2 θ − 1) = tan2 θ × cot2 θ

= (tan θ × cot θ)

= `(tan θ xx 1/tan θ)^2`

= (1)2

= 1
