Question 11 Mark
Prove that:
(sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) = tan θ sec θ
Answer
Taking LHS
(secθ - cosθ)(cotθ + tanθ)
= secθcotθ + secθtanθ - cosθcotθ - cosθtanθ
$=\frac{1}{\cos \theta}\left(\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}\right)+\sec \theta \tan \theta-\frac{\cos \theta(\cos \theta)}{\sin \theta}-\cos \theta\left(\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}\right)$
$=\frac{1}{\sin \theta}-\frac{\cos ^2 \theta}{\sin \theta}-\sin \theta+\tan \theta \sec \theta$
Taking LCM of first three terms,
$=\frac{1-\cos ^2 \theta-\sin ^2 \theta}{\sin \theta}+\tan \theta \sec \theta$
$=\frac{1-\left(\cos ^2 \theta+\sin ^2 \theta\right)}{\sin \theta}+\tan \theta \sec \theta$
$=\frac{1-1}{\sin \theta}+\tan \theta \sec \theta_{\left[ As , \sin ^2 \theta+\cos ^2 \theta=1\right]}$

Question 41 Mark
If tanθ = 1 then, find the values of $\frac{\sin \theta+\cos \theta}{\sec \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta}$
Answer

$=\frac{\tan \theta \sec \theta-\tan \theta+\sec ^2 \theta-\sec \theta+\sec \theta-1}{(\tan \theta+\sec \theta-1)(\sec \theta-1)}$
$=\frac{\tan \theta \sec \theta-\tan \theta+\sec ^2 \theta-1}{(\tan \theta+\sec \theta-1)(\sec \theta-1)}$
