Prove the following identities:
\( (\sec A+\tan A-1)(\sec A-\tan A+1)=2 \tan A \)
To do:
We have to prove that \( (\sec A+\tan A-1)(\sec A-\tan A+1)=2 \tan A \).
Solution:
We know that,
$\sin^2 A+\cos^2 A=1$
$\operatorname{cosec}^2 A-\cot^2 A=1$
$\sec^2 A-\tan^2 A=1$
$\cot A=\frac{\cos A}{\sin A}$
$\tan A=\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}$
$\operatorname{cosec} A=\frac{1}{\sin A}$
$\sec A=\frac{1}{\cos A}$
Therefore,
$(\sec A+\tan A-1)(\sec A-\tan A+1) =[(\sec A)+(\tan A-1)][(\sec A)-(\tan A-1)]$
$=(\sec A)^{2}-(\tan A-1)^{2}$
$=\sec ^{2} A-\left(\tan ^{2} A+1-2 \tan A\right)$
$=\sec ^{2} A-\tan ^{2} A-1+2 \tan A$
$=1-1+2 \tan A$
$=2 \tan A$
Hence proved.Advertisements
