Q:

tanA+ secA -1/ tanA - secA+1= 1+ sinA/ cosA

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:See below.Step-by-step explanation:I can do this but it's a pretty long proof. There might be a much easier way of proving this but this is the only way I can think of.Write tan A as s/c and sec A as 1/c ( where  s and c are  sin A  and cos A respectively).Then tanA+ secA -1/ tanA - secA+1= (s/c + 1/c - 1) / ( sc - 1/c + 1)= (s + 1 - c) / c  /   (s - 1 + c) / c= (s - c + 1) / (s + c - 1).Now we write the right side of the identity  ( 1 + sin A) / cos A as  (1 + s) / cSo if the identity is true then: (s - c + 1) / (s + c - 1) = (1 + s) / c.Cross multiplying:cs - c^2 + c =  s + c - 1 + s^2 + cs - sSimplifying:cs - c^2 + c = cs - (1 - s^2)  + c + s - sNow the s will disappear on the right side and 1 - s^2 = c^2 so we havecs - c^2 + c = cs - c^2 + c.Which completes the proof.
