Question
Show that `sqrt((1+cosA)/(1-cosA)) = cosec A + cot A`
Advertisements
Solution
L.H.S = `sqrt((1-cosA)/(1+cos A))`
`= sqrt((1-cosA)/(1+cosA) xx (1 - cos A)/(1- cos A)) = sqrt((1- cosA)^2/(1-cos^2A))`
`=sqrt((1- cosA)^2/(sin^2A)) = (1-cosA)/sin A = 1/sin A - cos A/sin A = cosec A -cot A` = R.H.S
Hence prove.

If sec θ = `25/7`, find the value of tan θ.
Solution:
1 + tan2 θ = sec2 θ
∴ 1 + tan2 θ = `(25/7)^square`
∴ tan2 θ = `625/49 - square`
= `(625 - 49)/49`
= `square/49`
∴ tan θ = `square/7` ........(by taking square roots)

If cot θ = `40/9`, find the values of cosec θ and sinθ,
We have, 1 + cot2θ = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
`(square + square)/square` = cosec2θ
`square/square` = cosec2θ ......[Taking root on the both side]
cosec θ = `41/9`
and sin θ = `1/("cosec" θ)`
sin θ = `1/square`
∴ sin θ = `9/41`
The value is cosec θ = `41/9`, and sin θ = `9/41`
