Question

Prove that : `tan"A"/(1 - cot"A") + cot"A"/(1 - tan"A") = sec"A".cosec"A" + 1`.

Sum

Solution

LHS = `(sin"A"/cos"A")/(1 - cos"A"/sin"A") + (cos"A"/sin"A")/(1 - sin"A"/cos"A")`

= `(sin"A" sin"A")/(cos"A"(sin"A" - cos"A")) + (cos"A" cos"A")/((cos"A" - sin"A") sin"A"`

= `1/((sin"A" - cos"A")) [(sin^2"A")/cos"A" + (cos^2"A")/(-sin"A")]`

= `(sin^3"A" - cos^3"A")/(sin"A".cos"A"(sin"A" - cos"A"))`

= `((sin"A" - cos"A")(sin^2"A" + cos^2"A" + sin"A". cos"A"))/(sin"A". cos"A"(sin"A" - cos"A")`

= `(1 + sin"A". cos"A")/(sin"A".cos"A")`

= `1/(sin"A".cos"A") + (sin"A".cos"A")/(sin"A".cos"A")`

= `1/sin"A" . 1/cos"A"+ 1`

=  sec A.cosec A + 1

= RHS

Hence proved.
