Question

Which is not correct formula?

Solution

1 + sec2θ = tan2θ

Explanation:

(A) 1 + tan2θ = sec2θ: Correct. This is a fundamental Pythagorean identity.

(B) 1 + sec2θ = tan2θ: Incorrect. Rearranging the correct identity from (A) gives sec2θ – 1 = tan2θ.

(C) cosec2θ – cot2θ = 1: Correct. This is derived from the standard identity 1 + cot2θ = cosec2θ.

(D) sin2θ + cos2θ = 1: Correct. This is the primary Pythagorean trigonometric identity.
