Prove each of the following identities:
sin θ (1 + tan θ) + cos θ (1+ cot θ) = (sec θ + cosec θ)
Consider the left – hand side:
L.H.S. = sin θ (1 + tan θ) + cos θ (1+ cot θ)
= sin θ (1 +
) + cos θ (1+
)
= sin θ
× (cos θ) × ![]()
= (cos θ + sin θ)![]()
= (cos θ + sin θ)![]()
= ![]()
= ![]()
= cosec θ + sec θ
= R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
