The correct Answer is:
To prove the equation: \[ \sqrt{\frac{1+\sin A}{1-\sin A}} - \sqrt{\frac{1-\sin A}{1+\sin A}} = 2\tan A \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Combine the terms on the left side We start by finding a common denominator for the two square root terms. The common denominator is \(\sqrt{(1-\sin A)(1+\sin A)}\). \[ \text{Let } x = \sqrt{\frac{1+\sin A}{1-\sin A}} - \sqrt{\frac{1-\sin A}{1+\sin A}} \] Rewriting this with a common denominator gives: \[ x = \frac{\sqrt{(1+\sin A)(1+\sin A)} - \sqrt{(1-\sin A)(1-\sin A)}}{\sqrt{(1-\sin A)(1+\sin A)}} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the numerator The numerator simplifies to: \[ \sqrt{(1+\sin A)^2} - \sqrt{(1-\sin A)^2} = (1+\sin A) - (1-\sin A) = 2\sin A \] So we can rewrite \(x\) as: \[ x = \frac{2\sin A}{\sqrt{(1-\sin A)(1+\sin A)}} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the denominator The denominator simplifies as follows: \[ \sqrt{(1-\sin A)(1+\sin A)} = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 A} = \sqrt{\cos^2 A} = \cos A \] ### Step 4: Substitute back into the equation Now substituting back into our expression for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{2\sin A}{\cos A} \] ### Step 5: Recognize the trigonometric identity Using the identity \(\tan A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A}\): \[ x = 2\tan A \] ### Conclusion Thus, we have shown that: \[ \sqrt{\frac{1+\sin A}{1-\sin A}} - \sqrt{\frac{1-\sin A}{1+\sin A}} = 2\tan A \] Hence, the equation is proved. ---
