Question
`sin^2 theta + 1/((1+tan^2 theta))=1`
Advertisements
Solution
LHS= `sin^2 theta + 1/((1+ tan^2 theta))`
=` sin^2 theta + 1/(sec^2 theta) (∵ sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta =1 )`
= `sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta`
= 1
=RHS

Activity: L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ
= `cosθ/sinθ + square/cosθ`
= `(square + sin^2theta)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`
= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ....... ∵ `square`
= `1/sinθ xx 1/cosθ`
= `square xx secθ`
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
