Prove the identity sin thetacsc theta cos thetasec theta 1
Prove the identity: sin theta/csc theta + cos theta/sec theta = 1
Solution
(sin/csc) +(cos/sec)
write csc as 1/sin , sec as 1/cos
=(sin/(1/sin)) +(cos/(1/cos))
=sin2 +cos2
sin=oppositeside/hypotenuse ,cos=adjacent side/hypotenuse
=(oppositeside/hypotenuse)2+(adjacent side/hypotenuse)2
=(oppositeside2+adjacent side2)/hypotenuse2
=hypotenuse2/hypotenuse2
=1
therefore (sin/csc) +(cos/sec)=1
