Question

Show that sin theta divided by 1 minus cos theta plus sin theta divided by cos theta plus cos square theta equals 1 divided by sin theta multipled by sec theta plus cos theta divided

Answer 1

Answer:

Consider the LHS.

⇒

sinθ+cosθ−1

sinθ−cosθ+1

Divide numerator and denominator with cosθ.

⇒

cosθ

⇒

tanθ+1−secθ

tanθ−1+secθ

⇒

tanθ−secθ+1

tanθ+secθ−1

Put sec

θ=1 in the numerator.

⇒

tanθ−secθ+1

(tanθ+secθ)−(sec

θ)

⇒

tanθ−secθ+1

(secθ+tanθ)[1−secθ+tanθ]

⇒secθ+tanθ

Multiply and divide the above result with (secθ−tanθ).

⇒secθ+tanθ

⇒

cosθ

1+sinθ

Hence, LHS=
