Verify the following trigonometric identity cos theta1 sin
Verify the following trigonometric identity: cos theta/1 - sin theta = sec theta + tan theta Prove that
Solution
9)
cos/(1-sin)
multiply numerator and denominator by 1+sin
=[cos(1+sin)]/[(1-sin)(1+sin)]
=[cos(1+sin)]/(1-sin2)
=[cos(1+sin)]/(cos2)............................................since sin2+cos2=1 is an identity
=(1+sin)/cos
=(1/cos)+(sin/cos)
=sec+tan
