Q4(iv):
Prove the following identities, where the angles involved are acute angles for which the expressions are defined. (iv) $\frac{1 + \sec A}{\sec A} = \frac{\sin^2 A}{1 – \cos A}$ [Hint : Simplify LHS and RHS separately]

Solution :

Given: The trigonometric identity $\frac{1 + \sec A}{\sec A} = \frac{\sin^2 A}{1 – \cos A}$, where $A$ is an acute angle.

To Prove: The Left Hand Side (LHS) is equal to the Right Hand Side (RHS).

Step 1: Simplifying the Left Hand Side (LHS)

The expression is given as: $LHS = \frac{1 + \sec A}{\sec A}$

We know the fundamental trigonometric identity relating secant and cosine: $\sec A = \frac{1}{\cos A}$ [Definition of secant as the reciprocal of cosine].

Substituting this into the LHS expression:

$LHS = \frac{1 + \frac{1}{\cos A}}{\frac{1}{\cos A}}$

To simplify the numerator, find a common denominator:

$LHS = \frac{\frac{\cos A + 1}{\cos A}}{\frac{1}{\cos A}}$

Multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator:

$LHS = \left( \frac{\cos A + 1}{\cos A} \right) \times \left( \frac{\cos A}{1} \right)$

Canceling the common term $\cos A$ in the numerator and denominator:

$LHS = 1 + \cos A$

Step 2: Simplifying the Right Hand Side (RHS)

The expression is given as: $RHS = \frac{\sin^2 A}{1 – \cos A}$

We use the Pythagorean identity: $\sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1$, which implies $\sin^2 A = 1 - \cos^2 A$ [Using the identity $\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$].

Substituting this into the RHS expression:

$RHS = \frac{1 - \cos^2 A}{1 - \cos A}$

Recognizing the numerator as a difference of squares, where $a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)$. Here, $1 - \cos^2 A = (1)^2 - (\cos A)^2 = (1 - \cos A)(1 + \cos A)$:

$RHS = \frac{(1 - \cos A)(1 + \cos A)}{1 - \cos A}$

Canceling the common term $(1 - \cos A)$ in the numerator and denominator (assuming $1 - \cos A \neq 0$, which is true for acute angle $A \neq 0^\circ$):

$RHS = 1 + \cos A$

Step 3: Conclusion

Since $LHS = 1 + \cos A$ and $RHS = 1 + \cos A$, we have shown that $LHS = RHS$.

Final Answer: Since both sides simplify to $1 + \cos A$, the identity $\frac{1 + \sec A}{\sec A} = \frac{\sin^2 A}{1 – \cos A}$ is proven.

Ability to connect with children (or with older students), on a personal level. communication and social skills.Teaching can be quite satisfying for people who do it well. I know this because I am a teacher, too. Although I do not think I'm always the best teacher, do I know that the majority of my students love me, and I guess this is partly why good things happen in my classroom. I have spent a lot of time thinking about and done a lot of research in to the question of what characteristics make a teacher effective and how I can succeed in the classroom. Although every great teacher has their own special, unique style, I have found that there are nine specific universal qualities that are necessary for anyone who wants to teach effectively, whether they want to teach in an elementary school or a university. If any teacher possesses the following characteristics and qualities, he/she can become a very good teacher with large fan base.

My goal is to build strong foundational knowledge, boost confidence, and prepare students for their board exams and future academic pursuits.

Sanjali Mishra

I’m really glad I found Rahul sir through UrbanPro. He has been extremely helpful with my Computer studies and has made understanding different concepts so much easier for me. He is very patient while explaining things and always makes sure that I actually understand the topic instead of just memorising it. I started taking his help after my Unit Tests, and it has genuinely made a big difference. With my half-yearlies coming up, I feel much more prepared and confident in Computer, and a lot of that is because of his guidance and support. He has helped me improve so much and has always been really supportive whenever I’ve had doubts. I’m really thankful for all his help and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a Computer tutor!
