Prove the following identities:
$(\sec\text{x}\sec\text{x}+\tan\text{x}\tan\text{y})^2-(\sec\text{x}\tan\text{y}+\tan\text{x}\sec\text{y})^2=1$
✓

Answer

$\text{L.H.S}=\big(\sec\text{x}\sec\text{x}+\tan\text{x}\tan\text{y}\big)^{2}-\big(\sec\text{x}\tan\text{y}+\tan\text{x}\sec\text{y}\big)^{2}$
$=\big(\sec\text{x}\sec\text{y}\big)^{2}+\big(\tan\text{x}\tan\text{y}\big)^{2}+2\sec\text{x}\sec\text{y}\tan\text{x}\tan\text{y}\\\ \ \ -\Big(\big(\sec\text{x}\tan\text{y}\big)^{2}+\big(\tan\text{x}\sec\text{y}\big)^{2}+2\sec\text{x}\tan\text{y}\tan\text{x}\sec\text{y}\Big)$ $\big[\text{using}\big(\text{a+b}\big)^{2}=\text{a}^{2}+\text{b}^{2}+2\text{ab}\big]$
$=\sec^{2}\text{x}\sec^{2}\text{y}+\tan^{2}\text{x}\tan^{2}\text{y}+2\sec\text{x}\sec\text{y}\tan{\text{x}}\tan{\text{y}}\\\ \ \ -\sec^{2}\text{x}\tan^{2}\text{y}-\tan^{2}\text{x}\sec^{2}\text{y}-2\sec\text{x}\sec\text{y}\tan\text{x}\tan\text{y}$ $\big[\text{using}\big(\text{ab}\big)^{2}=\text{a}^{2}\text{b}^{2}\big]$
$=\sec^{2}\text{x}\sec^{2}\text{y}-\sec^{2}\text{x}\tan^{2}\text{y}+\tan^{2}\text{x}\tan^{2}{\text{y}}-\tan^{2}\text{x}\sec^{2}\text{y}$
$=\sec^{2}\text{x}\big(\sec^{2}\text{y}-\tan^{2}\text{y}\big)+\tan^{2}\text{x}\big(\tan^{2}\text{y}-\sec^{2}\text{y}\big)$
$= \sec^{2}\text{x}1-\tan^{2}\text{x}1$ $\bigg[\because\sec^{2}\theta=1+\tan^{2}\theta\Rightarrow\sec^{2}\theta-\tan^{2}\theta=1\bigg]$
$=1+\tan^{2}\text{x}-\tan^{2}\text{x}$
$=1$
$=\text{R.H.S}$
$\text{Proved}$
