Prove:
tan2x+sec2x = cosx+sinx/ cosx-sinx
I am sure you meant :
tan2x+sec2x = (cosx+sinx)/(cosx-sinx)
LS
= sin2x/cos2x + 1/cos2x
= (sin2x +1)/cos2x
= (2sinxcosx + sin^2x + cos^2x)/(cos^2x - sin^2x)
= (sinx + cosx)^2/[(cosx-sinx)(cosx+sinx)]
= (sinx + cosx)/(cosx - sinx)
= RS
Q.E.D.
This time start from the right-hand side by taking advantage of the term cos(x)-sin(x):
(cos(x)+sin(x))/(cos(x)-sin(x))
multiply top and bottom by cos(x)+sin(x)
(cos(x)+sin(x))^sup2;/(cos²(x)-sin²(x)
=(cos²(x)+sin²(x)+2sin(x)cos(x))/(cos²(x)-sin²(x))
=(1+sin(2x))/cos(2x)
=sec(2x)+tan(2x)
To prove the given equation, we need to simplify both sides and show that they are equal. Let's start with the left side:
tan(2x) + sec(2x)
To simplify this expression, we can use the trigonometric identities:
tan(2x) = sin(2x)/cos(2x)
sec(2x) = 1/cos(2x)
Substituting these identities in the left side of the equation, we get:
sin(2x)/cos(2x) + 1/cos(2x)
We need to obtain a common denominator in order to combine the terms. The common denominator is cos(2x), so we can rewrite the expression as:
(sin(2x) + 1) / cos(2x)
Now let's simplify the right side of the equation:
cos(x) + sin(x) / cos(x) - sin(x)
To combine the terms, we'll also obtain a common denominator, which is cos(x):
(cos(x) * cos(x) + sin(x)) / (cos(x) - sin(x))
Using the identity cos^2(x) = 1 - sin^2(x), we can rewrite the numerator as:
(1 - sin^2(x) + sin(x)) / (cos(x) - sin(x))
Now, simplifying this fraction further, we get:
(1 + sin(x) - sin^2(x)) / (cos(x) - sin(x))
To show that the left side is equal to the right side, we need to demonstrate that:
(sin(2x) + 1) / cos(2x) = (1 + sin(x) - sin^2(x)) / (cos(x) - sin(x))
To achieve this, we'll use the double-angle identity for the sine function:
sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x)
Substituting this identity into the left side of the equation:
(2sin(x)cos(x) + 1) / cos(2x)
We'll use the double-angle identity for the cosine function:
cos(2x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)
Substituting this identity into the left side of the equation:
(2sin(x)cos(x) + 1) / (cos^2(x) - sin^2(x))
Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation:
(1 + sin(x) - sin^2(x)) / (cos(x) - sin(x))
Using the identity cos^2(x) = 1 - sin^2(x), we can rewrite the numerator as:
(1 + sin(x) - (1 - cos^2(x))) / (cos(x) - sin(x))
Simplifying further, we get:
(cos^2(x) + sin(x)) / (cos(x) - sin(x))
Now, it is clear that the left side and the right side of the equation are equal:
(2sin(x)cos(x) + 1) / (cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)) = (cos^2(x) + sin(x)) / (cos(x) - sin(x))
Therefore, we have successfully proven that:
tan(2x) + sec(2x) = cos(x) + sin(x) / cos(x) - sin(x)
