If (cosec θ + cot θ) = m and (cosec θ – cot θ) = n, show that mn = 1
Given: (cosec θ + cot θ) = m …………….(1)
(cosec θ – cot θ) = n …………….(2)
Multiply equation (1) and (2):
(cosec θ + cot θ) (cosec θ – cot θ) = mn
(cosec2 θ – cot2 θ) = mn
1 = mn (∵ 1 + cot2 θ = cosec2 θ)
Therefore, mn = 1.
Hence, proved.
