Prove that: (cosecA - sinA) (secA - cosA) ^2A = tanA - Vidyadip

Question

Prove that:
$(cosecA - sinA) (secA - cosA) \sec^2A = tanA$

✓

Answer

LHS,
$(co\sec A - \sin A) (\sec A - \cos A) \sec^2A$
$=\left(\frac{1}{\sin A}-\sin A\right)\left(\frac{1}{\cos A}-\cos A\right) \sec ^2 A$
$=\left(\frac{1-\sin ^2 A}{\sin A}\right)\left(\frac{1-\cos ^2 A}{\cos A}\right) \sec ^2 A$
$=\left(\frac{\cos ^2 A}{\sin A}\right)\left(\frac{\sin ^2 A}{\cos A}\right) \sec ^2 A$
$=\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}=\tan A= RHS $
