Question

If x = cot A + cos A and y = cot A - cos A, prove that

(xyx+y)2+(xy2)2=1.

Open in App
Solution


x=cot A + cos A and
y=cot A − cos A
Now,
x + y= cot A + cos A + cot A − cos A = 2 cot A

x − y = cot A + cos A − cot A + cos A = 2 cos A

LHS = (xyx+y)2+(xy2)2
=(2cosA2cotA)2+(2cosA2)2
=(cosA×sinAcosA)2+(cosA)2
=sin2A+cos2A =1=RHS
