Question
Prove the following trigonometric identities.
`(1 + cos theta + sin theta)/(1 + cos theta - sin theta) = (1 + sin theta)/cos theta`
Solution
We have to prove the following identity
`(1 + cos theta + sin theta)/(1 + cos theta - sin theta) = (1 + sin theta)/cos theta`
Consider the LHS = `(1 + cos theta + sin theta)/(1 + cos theta - sin theta)`
`= ((1 + cos theta + sin theta)/(1 + cos theta - sin theta))((1 + cos theta + sin theta)/(1 + cos theta + sin theta))`
`= (1 + cos theta + sin theta)^2/((1 + cos theta)^2 sin^2 theta)`
`= (2 + 2(cos theta + sin theta + sin theta cos theta))/(2 cos^2 theta + 2 cos theta)`
`= (2(1 + cos theta)(1 + sin theta))/(2 cos theta (1 + cos theta))`
`= (1 + sin theta)/cos theta`
= RHS
Hence proved
