Question
Show that: `tan "A"/(1 + tan^2 "A")^2 + cot "A"/(1 + cot^2 "A")^2 = sin"A" xx cos"A"`

Solution
Proof: L.H.S. = `tan"A"/(1 + tan^2 "A")^2 + cot"A"/(1 + cot^2 "A")^2`
= `tan "A"/(sec^2"A")^2 + cot "A"/("cosec"^2"A")^2` ......`[(∵ 1 + cot^2θ = "cosec"^2θ),(1 + tan^2θ = sec^2θ)]`
= `tan "A"/sec^4"A" + cot "A"/("cosec"^4"A")`
= `sin "A"/cos "A" xx 1/(sec^4 "A") + cos "A"/sin "A" xx 1/("cosec"^4 "A")`
= `sin "A"/cos "A" xx cos^4"A" + cos "A"/sin "A" xx sin^4"A"`
= sinA × cos3A + cosA × sin3A
= sinA cosA (cos2A + sin2A)
= sinA cosA (1) ......[∵ cos2A + sin2A = 1]
= sinA.cosA
= R.H.S
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence proved.
