To Prove:
Proof:
We need to prove that,
[tex]\implies\sec A(1-\sin A)(\sec A+\tan A)=1[/tex]
Taking LHS,
[tex]\implies\sec A(1-\sin A)(\sec A+\tan A)[/tex]
Multiplying sec A with the first bracket,
[tex]\implies\sec A(1-\sin A)(\sec A+\tan A)[/tex]
[tex]\implies(\sec A-\sec A\sin A)(\sec A+\tan A)[/tex]
We know that,
[tex]\hookrightarrow\sec\theta=\dfrac{1}{\cos\theta}[/tex]
So,
[tex]\implies(\sec A-\sec A\sin A)(\sec A+\tan A)[/tex]
[tex]\implies\bigg(\sec A-\dfrac{1}{\cos A}\cdot\sin A\bigg)\bigg(\sec A+\tan A\bigg)[/tex]
[tex]\implies\bigg(\sec A-\dfrac{\sin A}{\cos A}\bigg)\bigg(\sec A+\tan A\bigg)[/tex]
We know that,
[tex]\hookrightarrow\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\tan\theta[/tex]
So,
[tex]\implies\bigg(\sec A-\dfrac{\sin A}{\cos A}\bigg)\bigg(\sec A+\tan A\bigg)[/tex]
[tex]\implies\left(\sec A-\tan A\right)\left(\sec A+\tan A\right)[/tex]
We know that,
[tex]\hookrightarrow (x-y)(x+y)=x^2-y^2[/tex]
So,
[tex]\implies\left(\sec A-\tan A\right)\left(\sec A+\tan A\right)[/tex]
[tex]\implies\sec^2A-\tan^2A[/tex]
We know that,
[tex]\hookrightarrow\sec^2\theta-\tan^2\theta=1[/tex]
So,
[tex]\implies\sec^2A-\tan^2A[/tex]
[tex]\implies\bf 1 = RHS[/tex]
As, LHS = RHS,
HENCE PROVED!!
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]we \: have \: to \: prove \\ \: \: secA(1 - sinA) \: (secA + tanA) = 1 \\ proof: \\ let \: us \: start \: with \: \: l.h.s. \\ = (secA - sinA \times secA)(secA + tanA) \\ = (secA - tanA)(secA + tanA) \: (sec A = \frac{1}{cosA} \: and \: \frac{sinA}{cosA} =tanA \\ \\ = ({sec}^{2} A - {tan}^{2} A) \: \: \: as \: (a + b)(a - b) = {a}^{2} - {b}^{2} \\ = {sec}^{2} A - {tan}^{2} A \\ = 1. \\ = r.h.s. \\ \\ hence \: proved.[/tex]
