Question

prove that 1+tan2A/1+cot2A = tan2A​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that: 1+tan² A1+cot²A=[1-tanA1-cotA]²=tan²A

We will first solve the equation on LHS

LHS:

= 1+tan²A / 1+cot²A

Using the trignometric identities we know that 1+tan²A= Sec²A and 1+cot²A= Cosec²A

= Sec²A/ Cosec²A

On taking the reciprocals we get

= Sin²A/Cos²A

= tan²A

RHS:

=(1-tanA)²/(1-cotA)²

Substituting the reciprocal value of tan A and cot A we get,

=(1-sinA/cosA)²/(1-cosA/sinA)²

=[(cosA-sinA)/cosA]²/ [(sinA-cos)/sinA)²

=(cosA-sinA)²×sin²A /Cos²A. /(sinA-cosA)²

=1×sin²A/Cos²A×1.

=tan

The values of LHS and RHS are same.

Hence proved

Answer 2

Answer:

(1+tan2A)/(1+cot2A)

= (1+tan2A)/(1+1/tan2A)

(1+tan2A)/(tan2A+1)/tan2A

= tan2A

RHS
