Prove the following trigonometric identities- 1-sec-sec-sin2-1-cos-

We know that sin^2θ + cos^2θ= 1 secθ = 1/cosθ LHS = 1+ secθ/secθ = 1+ 1/cosθ/1/cosθ = cosθ +1/cosθ× cosθ =cosθ +1 RHS = sin^2θ/1 cosθ = 1 cos^2θ/1 cosθ = ...

Question

Prove the following trigonometric identities:

$\frac{1 + s e c θ}{s e c θ} = \frac{s i n^{2} θ}{1 - c o s θ}$

Open in App

Solution

We know that $s i n^{2} θ + c o s^{2} θ = 1$
$s e c θ = \frac{1}{c o s θ}$

$L H S = \frac{1 + s e c θ}{s e c θ}$

$= \frac{1 + \frac{1}{c o s θ}}{\frac{1}{c o s θ}}$

$= \frac{c o s θ + 1}{c o s θ} \times c o s θ$

$= c o s θ + 1$

$R H S = \frac{s i n^{2} θ}{1 - c o s θ}$

$= \frac{1 - c o s^{2} θ}{1 - c o s θ}$

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

$= c o s θ + 1$

$L H S = R H S$
