Questions

Prove the following trigonometric identities.

tan2 θ − sin2 θ = tan2 θ sin2 θ

Prove that:

tan2 θ − sin2 θ = tan2 θ sin2 θ

Theorem

Solution

LHS = tan2 θ − sin2 θ

= `sin^2 θ/cos^2 θ - sin^2 θ`   `[∵ tan^2 θ = sin^2 θ/cos^2 θ]`

`=> sin^2 θ [1/cos^2 θ- 1]`

`sin^2 θ [(1 - cos^2 θ)/cos^2 θ]`

`=> sin^2 θ. sin^2 θ/cos^2 θ = sin^2 θ tan^2 θ `

LHS = RHS

Hence proved
