Albert wants to show that tan theta sin theta + cos theta = sec theta He writes the following proof tan theta sin theta +cos theta = sec theta sin theta/cos theta sin theta + cos theta = sec theta sin^2 theta/cos theta + cos theta = sec theta What is the next step in this proof? He should write tan theta = sin theta/cos theta to find a common demoninator. He should write cos theta = cos^2 theta/cos theta to find a common denominator. He should write cos theta = 1- sin theta to convert all the terms to sine. He should write sin theta = 1-cos theta to convert all the terms to cosine How can Jamie rewrite the expression 1/1 - sin theta so that the fraction has cos^2 theta in the denominator? She can multiply the numerator and denominator by cos theta.
Solution
4) prove tan@*sin@ + cos@ = sec @
LHS:
tan@*sin@ + cos@
(sin@ / cos@)*sin@ + cos@
(sin2@ / cos@ ) + cos@
( sin2 @ + cos2@ ) / cos@
[ use identity sin2 @ + cos2@ = 1]
1/ cos@ = sec@
= RHS
hence proved
that means he should write cos@ = cos2 @ / cos@ to find common denominator.
