prove ((1+cot(a)-csc(a))(1+tan(a)+sec(a)))=2

Solution

prove

((1 + cot (a) - csc (a)) (1 + tan (a) + sec (a))) = 2

Solution

True

Solution steps

(1 + cot (a) - csc (a)) (1 + tan (a) + sec (a)) = 2

Manipulating left side

(1 + cot (a) - csc (a)) (1 + tan (a) + sec (a))

Express with sin, cos

(1 + cot (a) - csc (a)) (1 + sec (a) + tan (a))

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= (1 + \frac{cos ( a )}{sin ( a )} - csc (a)) (1 + sec (a) + tan (a))

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= (1 + \frac{cos ( a )}{sin ( a )} - \frac{1}{sin ( a )}) (1 + sec (a) + tan (a))

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= (1 + \frac{cos ( a )}{sin ( a )} - \frac{1}{sin ( a )}) (1 + \frac{1}{cos ( a )} + tan (a))

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= (1 + \frac{cos ( a )}{sin ( a )} - \frac{1}{sin ( a )}) (1 + \frac{1}{cos ( a )} + \frac{sin ( a )}{cos ( a )})

Simplify

(1 + \frac{cos ( a )}{sin ( a )} - \frac{1}{sin ( a )}) (1 + \frac{1}{cos ( a )} + \frac{sin ( a )}{cos ( a )}) : \frac{( sin ( a ) + cos ( a ) - 1 ) ( cos ( a ) + 1 + sin ( a ) )}{sin ( a ) cos ( a )}

(1 + \frac{cos ( a )}{sin ( a )} - \frac{1}{sin ( a )}) (1 + \frac{1}{cos ( a )} + \frac{sin ( a )}{cos ( a )})

Simplify

1 + \frac{cos ( a )}{sin ( a )} - \frac{1}{sin ( a )} : \frac{cos ( a ) - 1}{sin ( a )} + 1

1 + \frac{cos ( a )}{sin ( a )} - \frac{1}{sin ( a )}

Combine the fractions

\frac{cos ( a )}{sin ( a )} - \frac{1}{sin ( a )} : \frac{cos ( a ) - 1}{sin ( a )}

Apply rule

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

= \frac{cos ( a ) - 1}{sin ( a )}

= 1 + \frac{cos ( a ) - 1}{sin ( a )}

= (\frac{cos ( a ) - 1}{sin ( a )} + 1) (\frac{1}{cos ( a )} + \frac{sin ( a )}{cos ( a )} + 1)

Join

1 + \frac{cos ( a ) - 1}{sin ( a )} : \frac{sin ( a ) + cos ( a ) - 1}{sin ( a )}

1 + \frac{cos ( a ) - 1}{sin ( a )}

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 sin ( a )}{sin ( a )}

= \frac{1 \cdot sin ( a )}{sin ( a )} + \frac{cos ( a ) - 1}{sin ( a )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{1 \cdot sin ( a ) + cos ( a ) - 1}{sin ( a )}

Multiply:

1 \cdot sin (a) = sin (a)

= \frac{sin ( a ) + cos ( a ) - 1}{sin ( a )}

= \frac{sin ( a ) + cos ( a ) - 1}{sin ( a )} (\frac{1}{cos ( a )} + \frac{sin ( a )}{cos ( a )} + 1)

Combine the fractions

\frac{1}{cos ( a )} + \frac{sin ( a )}{cos ( a )} : \frac{1 + sin ( a )}{cos ( a )}

Apply rule

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

= \frac{1 + sin ( a )}{cos ( a )}

= \frac{sin ( a ) + cos ( a ) - 1}{sin ( a )} (\frac{sin ( a ) + 1}{cos ( a )} + 1)

Join

1 + \frac{1 + sin ( a )}{cos ( a )} : \frac{cos ( a ) + 1 + sin ( a )}{cos ( a )}

1 + \frac{1 + sin ( a )}{cos ( a )}

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 cos ( a )}{cos ( a )}

= \frac{1 \cdot cos ( a )}{cos ( a )} + \frac{1 + sin ( a )}{cos ( a )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{1 \cdot cos ( a ) + 1 + sin ( a )}{cos ( a )}

Multiply:

1 \cdot cos (a) = cos (a)

= \frac{cos ( a ) + 1 + sin ( a )}{cos ( a )}

= \frac{sin ( a ) + cos ( a ) - 1}{sin ( a )} \cdot \frac{cos ( a ) + sin ( a ) + 1}{cos ( a )}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{( sin ( a ) + cos ( a ) - 1 ) ( cos ( a ) + 1 + sin ( a ) )}{sin ( a ) cos ( a )}

= \frac{( sin ( a ) + cos ( a ) - 1 ) ( cos ( a ) + 1 + sin ( a ) )}{sin ( a ) cos ( a )}

= \frac{( - 1 + cos ( a ) + sin ( a ) ) ( 1 + cos ( a ) + sin ( a ) )}{cos ( a ) sin ( a )}

Rewrite using trig identities

\frac{- 1 + cos ^{2} ( a ) + sin ^{2} ( a ) + 2 cos ( a ) sin ( a )}{cos ( a ) sin ( a )}

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

= \frac{- 1 + 1 + 2 cos ( a ) sin ( a )}{cos ( a ) sin ( a )}

\frac{- 1 + 1 + 2 cos ( a ) sin ( a )}{cos ( a ) sin ( a )} = 2
