Prove that $\frac{1}{1 + cos θ} + \frac{1}{1 - cos θ} = 2 {cosec}^{2} θ$ .

Open in App

Solution

Solving LHS
$\frac{1}{1 + cos θ} + \frac{1}{1 - cos θ} = \frac{1 - cos θ + 1 + cos θ}{(1 + cos θ) (1 - cos θ)}$
(cross multiplying)

$\frac{1 - cos θ + 1 + cos θ}{(1 + cos θ) (1 - cos θ)} = \frac{2}{1 - {cos}^{2} θ}$

$\frac{2}{1 - {cos}^{2} θ} = \frac{2}{{sin}^{2} θ} = 2 {cosec}^{2} θ$
$L H S = R H S$
Hence Proved.
