Question

(1+tan2A) (1+1/tan2A) = 1/sin2A-sin4A

Open in App
Solution

tan A =1/cotA =>tan²A =1/cot²A

(1 + 1/tan²A)(1 + 1/cot²A) = 1/(sin²A - sin^4A)

LHS
= (1 + 1/tan²A)(1 + 1/cot²A)

= ((tan²A+1)/tan²A)((cot²A+1)/cot²A)

Using trigonometric identiities tan²A+1 =sec²A and cot²A+1 =cosec²A

= (sec²A/tan²A)(cosec²A/cot²A)

= (sec²A.cosec²A)/(tan²A.cot²A)

tan²A.cot²A=1 AS tan A =1/cotA

= sec²A.cosec²A

Using trigonometric identiities secA=1/cosA and cosecA =1/sinA

= 1/(sin²A.cos²A)

As cos²A =1 -sin²A

= (1/sin²A(1-sin²A)

= 1/(sin²A - sin^4.A)

= RHS
