Question

if sec(q+a) + sec(q-a) = 2secq then show that Cos =^2cos a/2​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. (1 – cos2 A) cosec2 A = 1

Solution:

Taking the L.H.S,

(1 – cos2 A) cosec2 A

= (sin2 A) cosec2 A [∵ sin2 A + cos2 A = 1 ⇒1 – sin2 A = cos2 A]

= 12

= 1 = R.H.S

– Hence Proved

2. (1 + cot2 A) sin2 A = 1  

Solution:  

By using the identity,

cosec2 A – cot2 A = 1 ⇒ cosec2 A = cot2 A + 1

Taking,

L.H.S = (1 + cot2 A) sin2 A

= cosec2 A sin2 A

= (cosec A sin A)2

= ((1/sin A) × sin A)2

= (1)2

= 1

= R.H.S

– Hence Proved

3. tan2 θ cos2 θ = 1 − cos2 θ  

Solution:  

We know that,

sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1

Taking,

L.H.S = tan2 θ cos2 θ

= (tan θ × cos θ)2

= (sin θ)2

= sin2 θ

= 1 – cos2 θ

= R.H.S

– Hence Proved

4. cosec θ √(1 – cos2 θ) = 1
