Question

If m=a sec A+b tan A andn=a tan A + b sec A,then prove that:m2n2=a2b2

Open in App
Solution

m²-n²=(m+n)(m-n)
=((asecA+btanA)+(atanA+bsecA))×((asecA+btanA)(atanA+bsecA))
=((a+b)secA+(a+b)tanA)×((ab)secA(ab)tanA)
=(a+b)(secA+tanA)×(ab)(secAtanA)
= (a+b)(ab)(secA+tanA)(secAtanA)
=(a²b²)(sec²Atan²A)
=(a²b²)(1+tan²Atan²A)
=a²b²
