The correct Answer is:
To prove the given identities, we will start with the left-hand side (LHS) of each equation and simplify it to show that it equals the right-hand side (RHS). ### Part (i): Prove that \( \tan A + \cot A = 2 \csc 2A \) 1. **Start with LHS:** \[ \tan A + \cot A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} + \frac{\cos A}{\sin A} \] 2. **Combine the fractions:** \[ = \frac{\sin^2 A + \cos^2 A}{\sin A \cos A} \] 3. **Use the Pythagorean identity:** \[ \sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1 \] Thus, \[ = \frac{1}{\sin A \cos A} \] 4. **Express \( \sin A \cos A \) in terms of \( \sin 2A \):** \[ \sin 2A = 2 \sin A \cos A \implies \sin A \cos A = \frac{1}{2} \sin 2A \] Therefore, \[ = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{2} \sin 2A} = \frac{2}{\sin 2A} \] 5. **Relate it to cosecant:** \[ = 2 \csc 2A \] 6. **Conclusion:** \[ \tan A + \cot A = 2 \csc 2A \] Hence, the identity is proved. ### Part (ii): Prove that \( \cot A - \tan A = 2 \cot 2A \) 1. **Start with LHS:** \[ \cot A - \tan A = \frac{\cos A}{\sin A} - \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} \] 2. **Combine the fractions:** \[ = \frac{\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A}{\sin A \cos A} \] 3. **Use the double angle identity for cosine:** \[ \cos^2 A - \sin^2 A = \cos 2A \] Thus, \[ = \frac{\cos 2A}{\sin A \cos A} \] 4. **Express \( \sin A \cos A \) in terms of \( \sin 2A \):** \[ = \frac{\cos 2A}{\frac{1}{2} \sin 2A} = \frac{2 \cos 2A}{\sin 2A} \] 5. **Relate it to cotangent:** \[ = 2 \cot 2A \] 6. **Conclusion:** \[ \cot A - \tan A = 2 \cot 2A \] Hence, the identity is proved.
