Solution
(sec θ + tan θ)(sec θ – tan θ)
= sec2θ – tan2θ ...[∵ (a + b)(a – b) = a2 – b2]
= 1 ...`[(∵ 1 + tan^2θ = sec^2θ),(∴ sec^2θ - tan^2θ = 1)]`

Prove that `(1 + sec theta - tan theta)/(1 + sec theta + tan theta) = (1 - sin theta)/cos theta`
Show that, cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ
Solution :
L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ
= `cosθ/sinθ + sinθ/cosθ`
= `(square + square)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`
= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ............... `square`
= `1/sinθ xx 1/square`
= cosecθ × secθ
L.H.S. = R.H.S
∴ cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ
