prove tan(θ)sec(θ)csc(θ)=1+tan^2(θ)

Solution

prove

tan (θ) sec (θ) csc (θ) = 1 + tan^{2} (θ)

Solution

True

Solution steps

tan (θ) sec (θ) csc (θ) = 1 + tan^{2} (θ)

Manipulating left side

tan (θ) sec (θ) csc (θ)

Express with sin, cos

csc (θ) sec (θ) tan (θ)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

csc (x) = \frac{1}{sin ( x )}

= \frac{1}{sin ( θ )} sec (θ) tan (θ)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{1}{sin ( θ )} \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( θ )} tan (θ)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{1}{sin ( θ )} \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( θ )} \cdot \frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Simplify

\frac{1}{sin ( θ )} \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( θ )} \cdot \frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )} : \frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( θ )}

\frac{1}{sin ( θ )} \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( θ )} \cdot \frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{1 \cdot 1 \cdot sin ( θ )}{sin ( θ ) cos ( θ ) cos ( θ )}

Cancel the common factor:

sin (θ)

= \frac{1 \cdot 1}{cos ( θ ) cos ( θ )}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 1 = 1

= \frac{1}{cos ( θ ) cos ( 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{1}{cos ^{2} ( θ )}

= \frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( θ )}

= \frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( θ )}

Manipulating right side

1 + tan^{2} (θ)

Express with sin, cos

1 + tan^{2} (θ)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= 1 + (\frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )})^{2}

Simplify

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

1 + (\frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= 1 + \frac{sin ^{2} ( θ )}{cos ^{2} ( θ )}

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 cos ^{2} ( θ )}{cos ^{2} ( θ )}

= \frac{1 \cdot cos ^{2} ( θ )}{cos ^{2} ( θ )} + \frac{sin ^{2} ( θ )}{cos ^{2} ( θ )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{1 \cdot cos ^{2} ( θ ) + sin ^{2} ( θ )}{cos ^{2} ( θ )}

Multiply:

1 \cdot cos^{2} (θ) = cos^{2} (θ)

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

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

= \frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( θ )}

= \frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( θ )}

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
