Question

Prove the following trigonometric identities:

1sin θ1+sin θ=(sec θtan θ)2

Open in App
Solution

Taking LHS we have
1Sinθ1+Sinθ
Dividing both the numerator and denominator with (Cosθ) we have
(1sinθcosθ1+sinθcosθ)
(SecθTanθ)(Secθ+Tanθ)
Now rationalising the denominator we have


(SecθTanθ)(Secθ+Tanθ) (SecθTanθ)(SecθTanθ)
We know that Sec2θTan2θ =1

(SecθTanθ)2 = RHS

Hence proved.
