(x) (1+tan2A/1+cot2A) = (1-tan A/1-cot A)2 = tan2A.
To do:
We have to prove the given identities.
Solution:
(i) LHS $=(\operatorname{cosec} \theta-\cot \theta)^{2}$
$=(\frac{1}{\sin \theta}-\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta})^{2}$
$=(\frac{1-\cos \theta}{\sin \theta})^{2}$
$=\frac{(1-\cos \theta)(1-\cos \theta)}{\sin ^{2} \theta}$
$=\frac{(1-\cos \theta)(1-\cos \theta)}{(1-\cos ^{2} \theta)}$
$=\frac{(1-\cos \theta)(1-\cos \theta)}{(1+\cos \theta)(1-\cos \theta)}$
$=\frac{1-\cos \theta}{1+\cos \theta}$
$=$ RHS
Hence proved.
(ii) LHS $=\frac{\cos \mathrm{A}}{1+\sin \mathrm{A}}+\frac{1+\sin \mathrm{A}}{\cos \mathrm{A}}$
$=\frac{(\cos \mathrm{A})^{2}+(1+\sin \mathrm{A})^{2}}{\cos \mathrm{A}(1+\sin \mathrm{A})}$
$=\frac{\cos ^{2} \mathrm{~A}+1+\sin ^{2} \mathrm{~A}+2 \sin \mathrm{A}}{\cos \mathrm{A}(1+\sin \mathrm{A})}$
$=\frac{1+1+2 \sin \mathrm{A}}{\cos \mathrm{A}(1+\sin \mathrm{A})}$
$=\frac{2+2 \sin \mathrm{A}}{\cos \mathrm{A}(1+\sin \mathrm{A})}$
$=\frac{2(1+\sin \mathrm{A})}{\cos \mathrm{A}(1+\sin \mathrm{A})}$
$=\frac{2}{\cos \mathrm{A}}$
$=2 \sec \mathrm{A}$
$=$ RHS
Hence proved.
(iii) LHS $=\frac{\tan \theta}{1-\cot \theta}+\frac{\cot \theta}{1-\tan \theta}$
$=\frac{\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}}{\frac{1}{1}-\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}}+\frac{\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}}{\frac{1}{1}-\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}}$
$=\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \times(\frac{\sin \theta}{\sin \theta-\cos \theta})+\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} \times(\frac{\cos \theta}{\cos \theta-\sin \theta})$
$=\frac{\sin ^{2} \theta}{\cos \theta(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)}-\frac{\cos ^{2} \theta}{\sin \theta(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)}$
$=\frac{\sin ^{3} \theta-\cos ^{3} \theta}{\sin \theta \cos \theta(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)}$
$=\frac{(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)(\sin ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta+\sin \theta \cos \theta)}{\sin \theta \cos \theta(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)}$
$=\frac{\sin ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta+\sin \theta \cos \theta}{\sin \theta \cos \theta}$
$=\frac{1+\sin \theta \cos \theta}{\sin \theta \cos \theta}$

$=1+\cos \mathrm{A}$
LHS $=$ RHS
Hence proved.
(v) LHS $=\frac{\cos A-\sin A+1}{\cos A+\sin A-1}$
Dividing numerator and denominator by $\sin \mathrm{A}$, we get,
$=\frac{\frac{\cos A}{\sin A}-\frac{\sin A}{\sin A}+\frac{1}{\sin A}}{\frac{\cos A}{\sin A}+\frac{\sin A}{\sin A}-\frac{1}{\sin A}}$
$=\frac{\cot \mathrm{A}-1+\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}}{\cot \mathrm{A}+1-\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}}$
$=\frac{\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}+\cot \mathrm{A}-1}{1+\cot \mathrm{A}-\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}}$
$=\frac{\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}+\cot \mathrm{A}-(\operatorname{cosec}^{2} \mathrm{~A}-\cot ^{2} \mathrm{~A})}{1+\cot \mathrm{A}-\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}}$ (Since $\operatorname{cosec}^{2} \mathrm{~A}-\cot ^{2} \mathrm{~A}=1$)
$=\frac{\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}+\cot \mathrm{A}-[(\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}+\cot \mathrm{A})(\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}-\cot \mathrm{A})]}{1+\cot \mathrm{A}-\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}}$
$=\frac{(\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}+\cot \mathrm{A})[1-\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}+\cot \mathrm{A}]}{1+\cot \mathrm{A}-\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}}$
$=\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}+\cot \mathrm{A}$
$=$ RHS
LHS $=$ RHS
Hence proved.
(vi) LHS $=\sqrt{\frac{1+\sin \mathrm{A}}{1-\sin \mathrm{A}}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\sin \mathrm{A})}{(1-\sin \mathrm{A})} \times \frac{(1+\sin \mathrm{A})}{(1+\sin \mathrm{A})}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\sin \mathrm{A})^{2}}{(1)^{2}-(\sin \mathrm{A})^{2}}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\sin \mathrm{A})^{2}}{\cos ^{2} \mathrm{~A}}}$
$=\frac{1+\sin \mathrm{A}}{\cos \mathrm{A}}$
$=\frac{1}{\cos \mathrm{A}}+\frac{\sin \mathrm{A}}{\cos \mathrm{A}}$
$=\sec \mathrm{A}+\tan \mathrm{A}$
$=$ RHS
LHS $=$ RHS
Hence proved.
(vii) LHS $=\frac{\sin \theta-2 \sin ^{3} \theta}{2 \cos ^{3} \theta-\cos \theta}$
$=\frac{\sin \theta(1-2 \sin ^{2} \theta)}{\cos \theta(2 \cos ^{2} \theta-1)}$
$=\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \times \frac{(1-2(1-\cos ^{2} \theta)}{(2 \cos ^{2} \theta-1)}$
$=\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \times \frac{(1-2+2 \cos ^{2} \theta)}{(2 \cos ^{2} \theta-1)}$
$=\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \times \frac{(-1+2 \cos ^{2} \theta)}{(2 \cos ^{2} \theta-1)}$
$=\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \times \frac{(2 \cos ^{2} \theta-1)}{(2 \cos ^{2} \theta-1)}$
$=\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$
$=\tan \theta$
$=$ RHS
LHS $=$ RHS
Hence proved.
(viii) LHS $=(\sin A+\operatorname{cosec} A)^{2}+(\cos A+\sec A)^{2}$
$=\sin ^{2} A+2 \sin A \operatorname{cosec} A+\operatorname{cosec}^{2} A+\cos ^{2} A+2\cos A \sec A+\sec ^{2} A$
$=\sin ^{2} A+2\sin A \frac{1}{\sin A}+\operatorname{cosec}^{2} A+\cos ^{2} A+2\cos A\frac{1}{\cos A}+\sec ^{2} A$
$=\sin ^{2} A+2+\operatorname{cosec}^{2} A+\cos ^{2} A+2+\sec ^{2} A$
$=\sin ^{2} A+\cos ^{2} A+2+2+\operatorname{cosec}^{2} A+\sec ^{2} A$
$=1+4+(1+\tan ^{2} A)+(1+\cot ^{2} A)$
$=7+\tan ^{2} A+\cot ^{2} A$
$=$ RHS
LHS $=$ RHS
Hence proved.
(ix) LHS $=(\operatorname{cosec} A-\sin A)(\sec A-\cos A)$
$=(\frac{1}{\sin A}-\sin A)(\frac{1}{\cos A}-\cos A)$
$=(\frac{1-\sin ^{2} A}{\sin A})(\frac{1-\cos ^{2} A}{\cos A})$
$=\frac{\cos ^{2} A}{\sin A} \times \frac{\sin ^{2} A}{\cos A}$
$=\sin A \cos A$
RHS $=\frac{1}{\tan A+\cot A}$
