Question

Show that none of the following is an identity :

(i) $c o s^{2} θ + c o s θ = 1$ (ii) $s i n^{2} θ + s i n θ = 2$ (iii) $t a n^{2} θ + s i n θ = c o s^{2} θ$

Solution

Identity is satisfied by all values of the angle, so here we will prove that these equations are satisfied by only some values of the angle.
