(Sin a+cos a)(tan a+cot a)= sec a+ cosec a

Answer»

Given:

\bf  (sin \: a + cos \: a)(tan \: a + cot \: a) = sec \: a + cosec \: a

To PROVE :

Proof :

Let's take LHS :-

\sf  \implies(sin \: a + cos \: a)(tan \: a + cot \: a)

We KNOW that :-

\underline{ \boxed{ \bf  \large \: tan \: x = \dfrac{sin \: x }{cos \: x}}}

\underline{ \boxed{ \bf  \large \:co t \: x = \dfrac{cos\: x }{sin \: x}}}

\sf  \implies(sin \: a + cos \: a) \bigg( \dfrac{sin \: a }{cos \: a}  + \dfrac{ cos\: a }{ sin\: a} \bigg)

\sf  \implies(sin \: a + cos \: a) \bigg( \dfrac{ {sin}^{2}  a+   {cos}^{2}a  }{ cos\: a \: sin\: a}   \bigg)

We know that :-

\underline{ \boxed{ \bf  \large {sin}^{2}  x+   {cos}^{2}x = 1}}

\sf  \implies(sin \: a + cos \: a) \bigg( \dfrac{ 1  }{ cos\: a \: sin\: a}   \bigg)

\sf  \implies \bigg( \dfrac{ sin \: a}{ cos\: a \: sin\: a}   \bigg) + \bigg( \dfrac{ cos\: a}{ cos\: a \: sin\: a}   \bigg)

\sf  \implies \bigg( \dfrac{  \cancel {sin \: a}}{ cos\: a \: \: \cancel {sin \: a} }   \bigg) + \bigg( \dfrac{  \cancel {cos\: a}}{ \cancel {cos\: a} \: \: sin\: a}   \bigg)

\sf  \implies \bigg( \dfrac{1}{ cos\: a  }   \bigg) + \bigg( \dfrac{  1}{  sin\: a}   \bigg)

We know that :-

\underline{ \boxed{ \bf  \large \dfrac{1 }{cos \: x} = sec \: x} } \\ \underline{ \boxed{ \bf  \large \dfrac{1 }{sin \: x} = cosec \: x} }

\sf  \implies sec \: a + cosec \: a

Therefore LHS = RHS

HENCE proved
