Prove that:
$\frac{\tan \theta}{\sec \theta-1}=\frac{\tan \theta+\sec \theta+1}{\tan \theta+\sec \theta-1}$
Given :
The given statement is $\frac{\tan \theta}{\sec \theta-1}=\frac{\tan \theta+\sec \theta+1}{\tan \theta+\sec \theta-1}$.
To do :
We have to prove that $LHS=RHS$ in the given statement.
Solution :
$LHS =\frac{\tan \theta}{\sec \theta-1}$
We know that,
$1+tan^2 \theta = sec^2 \theta$
$tan^2 \theta = sec^2 \theta-1$
$tan^2 \theta = (sec \theta-1)(sec \theta+1)$ $[a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)]$
$tan \theta . tan \theta = (sec \theta-1)(sec \theta+1)$
$\frac{tan \theta}{sec \theta-1}=\frac{sec \theta+1}{tan \theta }$
By ratio theorem,
$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a+c}{b+d}$
So, $\frac{tan \theta}{sec \theta-1}=\frac{sec \theta+1}{tan \theta }= \frac{tan \theta+sec \theta+1}{sec \theta-1+tan \theta}$
Therefore, $\frac{tan \theta}{sec \theta-1}= \frac{tan \theta+sec \theta+1}{tan \theta+sec \theta-1}= RHS$.
Hence proved.
