Question

Prove that cosA1tanA+sinA1cotA=cosA+sinA.

Open in App
Solution

LHS
=cosA/(1-tanA)+sinA/(1-cotA)
=cos A/(1 - sin A/cos A) + sin A/(1 - cos A/sin A)
=cos²A/ (cos A - sin A) + sin²A / (sin A - cos A)
=cos²A/ (cos A - sin A) - sin²A / (cos A - sin A)
=(cos ² A - sin ² A) / (cos A - sin A)
=(cos A - sin A)(cos A + sin A) / (cos A - sin A)
=cos A + sin A i.e RHS

LHS=RHS
Hence, Proved
