prove tan(θ)(cot(θ)cos(θ)+sin(θ))=sec(θ)

Solution

prove

tan (θ) (cot (θ) cos (θ) + sin (θ)) = sec (θ)

Solution

True

Solution steps

tan (θ) (cot (θ) cos (θ) + sin (θ)) = sec (θ)

Manipulating left side

tan (θ) (cot (θ) cos (θ) + sin (θ))

Express with sin, cos

(sin (θ) + cos (θ) cot (θ)) tan (θ)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

cot (x) = \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )}

= (sin (θ) + cos (θ) \frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}) tan (θ)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= (sin (θ) + cos (θ) \frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}) \frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Simplify

(sin (θ) + cos (θ) \frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}) \frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )} : \frac{sin ^{2} ( θ ) + cos ^{2} ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

(sin (θ) + cos (θ) \frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}) \frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{sin ( θ ) ( sin ( θ ) + cos ( θ ) \frac{c o s ( θ )}{s i n ( θ )} )}{cos ( θ )}

cos (θ) \frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )} = \frac{cos ^{2} ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

cos (θ) \frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{cos ( θ ) cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

cos (θ) cos (θ) = cos^{2} (θ)

cos (θ) cos (θ)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

cos (θ) cos (θ) = cos^{1 + 1} (θ)

= cos^{1 + 1} (θ)

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= cos^{2} (θ)

= \frac{cos ^{2} ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

= \frac{sin ( θ ) ( \frac{c o s ^{2} ( θ )}{s i n ( θ )} + sin ( θ ) )}{cos ( θ )}

Join

sin (θ) + \frac{cos ^{2} ( θ )}{sin ( θ )} : \frac{sin ^{2} ( θ ) + cos ^{2} ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

sin (θ) + \frac{cos ^{2} ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

Convert element to fraction:

sin (θ) = \frac{sin ( θ ) sin ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

= \frac{sin ( θ ) sin ( θ )}{sin ( θ )} + \frac{cos ^{2} ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{sin ( θ ) sin ( θ ) + cos ^{2} ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

sin (θ) sin (θ) + cos^{2} (θ) = sin^{2} (θ) + cos^{2} (θ)

sin (θ) sin (θ) + cos^{2} (θ)

sin (θ) sin (θ) = sin^{2} (θ)

sin (θ) sin (θ)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

sin (θ) sin (θ) = sin^{1 + 1} (θ)

= sin^{1 + 1} (θ)

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= sin^{2} (θ)

= sin^{2} (θ) + cos^{2} (θ)

= \frac{sin ^{2} ( θ ) + cos ^{2} ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

= \frac{\frac{s i n ^{2} ( θ ) + c o s ^{2} ( θ )}{s i n ( θ )} sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Multiply

sin (θ) \frac{sin ^{2} ( θ ) + cos ^{2} ( θ )}{sin ( θ )} : sin^{2} (θ) + cos^{2} (θ)

sin (θ) \frac{sin ^{2} ( θ ) + cos ^{2} ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{( sin ^{2} ( θ ) + cos ^{2} ( θ ) ) sin ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

Cancel the common factor:

sin (θ)

= sin^{2} (θ) + cos^{2} (θ)

= \frac{sin ^{2} ( θ ) + cos ^{2} ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

= \frac{sin ^{2} ( θ ) + cos ^{2} ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

= \frac{cos ^{2} ( θ ) + sin ^{2} ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Rewrite using trig identities

\frac{cos ^{2} ( θ ) + sin ^{2} ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Use the Pythagorean identity:

cos^{2} (x) + sin^{2} (x) = 1

= \frac{1}{cos ( θ )}

= \frac{1}{cos ( θ )}

Rewrite using trig identities

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

cos (x) = \frac{1}{sec ( x )}

\frac{1}{\frac{1}{s e c ( θ )}}

Simplify

\frac{1}{\frac{1}{s e c ( θ )}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{1}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{c}{b}

= \frac{sec ( θ )}{1}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{1} = a

= sec (θ)

sec (θ)

sec (θ)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
