Question

Prove the following:

`(cos(x - y))/(cos(x + y)) = (cotx coty + 1)/(cotx coty - 1)`

Sum

Solution

L.H.S. = `(cos(x - y))/(cos(x + y))`

= `(cosx cosy + sinx siny)/(cos x cos y - sin x sin y)`

Dividing numerator and denominator by sin x sin y, we get

L.H.S. = `(((cosx cosy)/(sinx sin y) + 1))/(((cosx cos y)/(sinx sin y) - 1)`

= `(cotx coty + 1)/(cotx coty - 1)`

= R.H.S.
