Question

Prove the following trigonometric identities:

1+sin θcos θ+cos θ1+sin θ=2 sec θ

Open in App
Solution

We know that cos2θ+sin2θ=1

sec θ=1cos θ

LHS=1+sinθcosθ+cosθ1+sinθ

=(1+sinθ)×(1+sinθ)+cosθ×cosθcosθ(1+sinθ)

=(1+sinθ)2+cos2θcosθ(1+sinθ)

=1+2sinθ+sin2θ+cos2θcosθ(1+sinθ)

=1+2sinθ+1cosθ(1+sinθ)

=2+2sinθcosθ(1+sinθ)

=2(1+sinθ)cosθ(1+sinθ)

=2cosθ

=2secθ=RHS
