Answers

1. Answer :

 (1 - cos2θ) ⋅ csc2θ = 1

Let A = (1 - cos2θ)  csc2θ  and B = 1.

Since sin2θ + cos2θ = 1, we have sin2θ = 1 - cos2θ.

Then, we have

A = sin2θ  csc2θ

A = 1

A = B  Proved

2. Answer :

Since sin2θ + cos2θ = 1, we have cos2θ = 1 - sin2θ.

A = 1

A = B  Proved

3. Answer :

tanθ ⋅ sinθ + cosθ = secθ

Let A = tanθ  sin θ + cos θ  and B = sec θ.

A = tanθ  sin θ + cos θ

A = secθ

A = B  Proved

4. Answer :

 (1 - cosθ) ⋅ (1 + cosθ) ⋅ (1 + cot2θ) = 1

Let A = (1 - cosθ)  (1 + cosθ)  (1 + cot2θ) and B = 1.

A = (1 - cosθ)  (1 + cosθ)  (1 + cot2θ)

A = (1 - cos2θ)  (1 + cot2θ)

Since, sin2θ + cos2θ = 1, we have sin2θ = 1 - cos2θ.

A = sin2θ  (1 + cot2θ)

A = sin2θ  + cos2θ

A = 1

A = B  Proved

5. Answer :

cotθ + tanθ = secθ ⋅ cscθ

Let A = cotθ + tanθ and B = secθ  cscθ.

A = cotθ + tanθ

Since cos2θ + sin2θ = 1, we have

A = secθ  cscθ

A = B  Proved

6. Answer :




A = cosθ + sinθ 

A = B  Proved

7. Answer :

tan4θ + tan2θ = sec4θ - sec2θ

Let A = tan2θ + tan2θ and B = sec2θ - sec2θ.

A = tan2θ (tan2θ + 1)

A = (sec2θ - 1)(tan2θ + 1)

Since tan2θ = sec2θ – 1, we have

A = (sec2θ - 1) ⋅ sec2θ

Since tan2θ + 1 = sec2θ, we have

A = sec4θ - sec2θ

A = B  Proved

8. Answer :




Since sec2θ = 1 + tan2θ, we have sec2θ - 1 = tan2θ

A = cscθ - cotθ

A = B  Proved

9. Answer :




A = (secA – tanA)2

A = B  Proved

10. Answer :



Since sec2θ - tan2θ = 1, we have

A = B  Proved
