Question
$\text{If}\ \text{cosec}\text{A}+\sec\text{A}=\text{cosecB}+\sec\text{B},$ prove that: $\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}=\cot\frac{\text{A+B}}{2}$

Answer

We have, $\text{cosec}\text{A}+\sec\text{A}=\text{cosec}\text{B}+\sec\text{B}$ $\Rightarrow\ \sec\text{A}-\sec\text{B}=\text{cosec}\text{B}-\text{cosec}\text{A}$ $\Rightarrow\ \frac{1}{\cos\text{A}}-\frac{1}{\cos\text{B}}=\frac{1}{\sin\text{B}}-\frac{1}{\sin\text{A}}$ $\Rightarrow\ \frac{\cos\text{B}-\cos\text{A}}{\cos\text{A}\cos\text{B}}=\frac{\sin\text{A}-\sin\text{B}}{\sin\text{A}\sin\text{B}}$ $\Rightarrow\ \frac{\sin\text{A}\sin\text{B}}{\cos\text{A}\cos\text{B}}=\frac{\sin\text{A}-\sin\text{B}}{\cos\text{B}-\cos\text{A}}$ $\Rightarrow\ \tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}=\frac{2\sin\Big(\frac{\text{A}-\text{B}}{2}\Big)\cos\Big(\frac{\text{A+B}}{2}\Big)}{-2\sin\Big(\frac{\text{B}-\text{A}}{2}\Big)\sin\Big(\frac{\text{B}+\text{A}}{2}\Big)}$ $\Rightarrow\ \tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}=\frac{-\sin\Big(\frac{\text{A}-\text{B}}{2}\Big)\cos\Big(\frac{\text{A+B}}{2}\Big)}{-\sin\Big(\frac{\text{A}-\text{B}}{2}\Big)\sin\Big(\frac{\text{A}+\text{B}}{2}\Big)}$ $[\because\ \sin(-\theta)=-\sin\theta]$ $\Rightarrow\ \tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}=\cos\Big(\frac{\text{A+B}}{2}\Big)$ Hence proved.
