Question

Prove that sin A (1 + tan A) + cos A (1 + cot A) = sec A + cosec A

Open in App
Solution

LHS = sinA(1 + tan A) + cosA(1 + cot A)

= sin A (1 + sinAcosA) + cos A (1 + cosAsinA)

= sin A (cosA+sinAcosA) + cos A (sinA+cosAsinA)

= sin2A(cosA+sinA)+cos2A(sinA+cosA)cosAsinA

= (cosA)cosAsinA + sinAcosAsinA

= 1sinA + 1cosA

= cosecA + secA(RHS)
