Question

Prove that:
(1+sinθ−cosθ)2/(1+sinθ+cosθ)2=(1−cosθ)/(1+cosθ)

Open in App
Solution

(1+sinθ−cosθ)2/(1+sinθ+cosθ)2=(1−cosθ)/(1+cosθ)

solving LHS we get

⇒ (a+b+c)2=a2+b2+c2+2ab+2bc+2ca

⇒ (1+sin2θ+cos2θ+2sinθ−2sinθcosθ−2cosθ)/(1+sin2θ+cos2θ+2sinθ+2cosθ+2sinθcosθ)

(1+1+2sinθ−2sinθcosθ−2cosθ)/(1+1+2sinθ+2sinθcosθ+2cosθ)

⇒(1+sinθ−cosθ−sinθcosθ)/(1+sinθ+sinθcosθ+cosθ)

⇒[(1+sinθ)−cosθ(1+sinθ)]/ [(1+sinθ)+cosθ(1+sinθ)]

⇒[(1+sinθ)(1−cosθ)]/ [(1+sinθ)(1+cosθ)]

⇒(1−cosθ)/(1+cosθ)=RHS
