Question

Prove the following trigonometric identities:

$\frac{1 - c o s A}{1 + c o s A} = (c o t A - c o s e c A)^{2}$

Open in App

Solution

$L H S = \frac{1 - c o s A}{1 + c o s A}$

Rationalize the numerator and denominator with (1 – cos A)

$= \frac{(1 - c o s A) (1 - c o s A)}{(1 + c o s A) (1 - c o s A)}$

$= \frac{(1 - c o s A)^{2}}{1 - c o s^{2} A}$

$= \frac{(1 - c o s A)^{2}}{s i n^{2} A}$

$= (\frac{1 - c o s A}{s i n A})^{2}$

$= (\frac{1}{s i n A} - \frac{c o s A}{s i n A})^{2}$

$= (c o s e c A - c o t A)^{2}$

$= (c o t A - c o s e c A)^{2}$

$= R H S$
