Question
Prove the following trigonometric identities
`cos theta/(1 - sin theta) = (1 + sin theta)/cos theta`
Solution
We know that, `sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = 1`
Multiplying both numerator and the denominator by `(1 + sin theta)` we have
`cos theta/(1- sin theta) = (cos theta(1 + sin theta))/((1 - sin theta)(1 + sin theta))`
`= (cos theta(1 + sin theta))/(1 - sin^2 theta)`
`= (cos theta(1 + sin theta))/cos^2 theta`
`= (1 + sin theta)/cos theta`
