Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Sec A + Tan A= p

To find :-

I) Show that Sec A - Tan A = 1/p .

II) Find the values of Cos A and Sin A ?

Solution :-

Given that

Sec A + Tan A= p ------------(1)

We know that

Sec² A - Tan² A = 1

It can be written as

=> ( Sec A + Tan A) (Sec A - Tan A) = 1

Since , (a+b)(a-b) = a²-b²

=> (p) (Sec A - Tan A) = 1 (from (1))

=> Sec A - Tan A = 1/p ---------(2)

Therefore, Sec A - Tan A = 1/p

On adding (1)&(2) then

Sec A + Tan A= p

Sec A - Tan A = 1/p

(+)

________________

2 Sec A + 0 = p+(1/p)

________________

=> 2 Sec A = p + (1/p)

=> 2 Sec A = (p²+1)/p

=> Sec A = (p²+1)/2p

=> 1/Cos A = (p²+1)/2p

=> Cos A = 2p/(p²+1) ---------(3)

On squaring both sides then

=> (Cos A)² = [2p /(p²+1)]²

=> Cos² A = (2p)²/(p²+1)²

=> Cos² A = 4p²/(p²+1)²

On Subtracting above equation from 1 then

=> 1 - Cos² A = 1 - [ 4p²/(p²+1)²]

=> 1 - Cos² A = [(p²+1)²-4p²]/(p²+1)²

=> Sin² A = (p²-1)²/(p²+1)²

Since , (a-b)² = (a+b)²-4ab

Where, a = p² and b = 1

=> Sin² A = [(p²-1)/(p²+1)]²

=> Sin A = (p²-1)/(p²+1)

Therefore, Sin A = (p²-1)/(p²+1)

Answer :-

I) Sec A - Tan A = 1/p

II) Cos A = 2p/(p²+1)

III) Sin A = (p²-1)/(p²+1)

Used Trigonometric Identities :-

→ Sec² A - Tan² A = 1

→ Sin² A + Cos² A = 1

Used Algebraic Identities :-

→ (a-b)² = (a+b)²-4ab

→ (a+b)(a-b) = a²-b²
