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

Activity:
L.H.S = `square`
= `cos^2theta xx square .....[1 + tan^2theta = square]`
= `(cos theta xx square)^2`
= 12
= 1
= R.H.S
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
sec θ when expressed in term of cot θ, is equal to ______.
