Question

Prove that: `1/(cosec"A" - cot"A") - 1/sin"A" = 1/sin"A" - 1/(cosec"A" + cot"A")`

Sum

Solution

= `1/("cosecA" - cot"A") - 1/sin"A"`

= `("cosec"^2"A" - cot^2"A")/("cosecA" - cot"A") - "cosecA"`

= `(("cosecA" - cot"A")("cosecA" + cot"A"))/("cosecA" - cot"A") - "cosecA"`

cosecA + cotA − cosecA

= cotA

R.H.S. = `1/sin"A" - 1/("cosecA" + cot"A")`

= `"cosecA" - (("cosec"^2"A" - cot"A")("cosecA" + cot"A"))/("cosecA" + cot"A")`

= cosecA − cosecA + cosecA

= cotA

= L.H.S.
