Question

If cosecθ+cotθ=a, then cosθ=a21a2+1

Open in App
Solution

For a=cosecθ+cotθ then
a21a2+1
=(cosecθ+cotθ)21(cosecθ+cotθ)2+1
=(cosec2θ+2.cosecθ.cotθ+cot2θ)1(cosec2θ+2cosecθ.cotθ+cot2θ)+1
=(2.cosecθ.cotθ+2cot2θ)(2cosec2θ+2cosecθ.cotθ) [ Since cosec2θ1=cot2θ and cot2θ+1=cosec2θ.]
=cotθ(cosecθ+cotθ)cosecθ(cosecθ+cotθ)
=cotθcosecθ
=cosθ.
