Question

Prove that

cotA+sinA÷cotA-sinA=1-cosA+secA÷1+cosA-secA

Open in App
Solution

RHS
(1-cosA+secA)/(1+cosA- secA)

multiplying numerator and denominator by cosA,

(cosA- cos²A +1)/(cosA+ cos²A- 1)

∵1- cos²A = sin²A
∴(cosA- cos²A +1)/(cosA+ cos²A- 1)
=(cosA +sin²A)/(cosA - sin²A)

dividing numerator and denominator by sinA,

(cotA +sinA)/(cotA-sinA)
= LHS
