If cosec θ - sin θ = a, sec θ - cos θ = b, prove that a 2b 2(a 2+b 2+ 3) = 1.
L.H.S = a 2 b 2 (a 2 + b 2 + 3)
= a 2 b 2 [(cosec θ - sin θ ) 2 + (sec θ - cos θ ) 2 + 3]
= a 2 b 2 [cosec 2 θ + sin 2 θ - 2 cosec θ sin θ + sec 2 θ + cos 2 θ - 2 sec θ cos θ + 3]
= a 2 b 2 [cosec 2 θ + 1 - 2 + sec 2 θ - 2 + 3]
= a 2 b 2 (cosec 2 θ + sec 2 θ)
Now, put the values of a and b again:
= (cosec θ - sin θ ) 2 (sec θ - cos θ ) 2 (cosec 2 θ + sec 2 θ)
= 1 = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
