Question
Prove that `(sin theta)/(1-cottheta) + (cos theta)/(1 - tan theta) = cos theta + sin theta`
Solution
L.H.S = `(sin theta)/(1 - cot theta) + (cos theta)/(1- tan theta)`
`= (sin theta)/(1 - cos theta/sin theta) + cos theta/(1 - sin theta/cos theta)`
`= sin^2 theta/(sin theta - cos theta) + cos^2 theta/(cos theta - sin theta)`
`= (sin^2 theta)/(sin theta - cos theta) - cos^2 theta/(sin theta - costheta)`
`= (sin^2 theta - cos^2 theta)/(sin theta - cos theta)`
`= ((sin theta - cos theta)(sin theta + cos theta))/(sin theta - cos theta)`
`= sin theta + cos theta`
= R.H.S
