The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \( \sin A (1 + \tan A) + \cos A (1 + \cot A) \), we will simplify it step by step. ### Step 1: Rewrite the Tangent and Cotangent We know that: \[ \tan A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} \quad \text{and} \quad \cot A = \frac{\cos A}{\sin A} \] Substituting these into the expression gives: \[ \sin A \left(1 + \frac{\sin A}{\cos A}\right) + \cos A \left(1 + \frac{\cos A}{\sin A}\right) \] ### Step 2: Distribute the Terms Now, we distribute the terms: \[ = \sin A + \frac{\sin^2 A}{\cos A} + \cos A + \frac{\cos^2 A}{\sin A} \] ### Step 3: Combine Like Terms Combine the sine and cosine terms: \[ = \sin A + \cos A + \frac{\sin^2 A}{\cos A} + \frac{\cos^2 A}{\sin A} \] ### Step 4: Find a Common Denominator To combine the fractions, we need a common denominator, which is \( \sin A \cos A \): \[ = \sin A + \cos A + \frac{\sin^3 A + \cos^3 A}{\sin A \cos A} \] ### Step 5: Use the Identity \( \sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1 \) We know that \( \sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1 \), so we can rewrite \( \sin^3 A + \cos^3 A \) using the identity: \[ \sin^3 A + \cos^3 A = (\sin A + \cos A)(\sin^2 A - \sin A \cos A + \cos^2 A) = (\sin A + \cos A)(1 - \sin A \cos A) \] ### Step 6: Substitute Back Substituting back into the expression gives: \[ = \sin A + \cos A + \frac{(\sin A + \cos A)(1 - \sin A \cos A)}{\sin A \cos A} \] ### Step 7: Factor Out \( \sin A + \cos A \) Now, we can factor out \( \sin A + \cos A \): \[ = (\sin A + \cos A) \left(1 + \frac{1 - \sin A \cos A}{\sin A \cos A}\right) \] ### Step 8: Simplify Further This simplifies to: \[ = (\sin A + \cos A) \left(1 + \frac{1}{\sin A \cos A} - 1\right) = (\sin A + \cos A) \left(\frac{1}{\sin A \cos A}\right) \] ### Step 9: Final Expression Thus, we have: \[ = \frac{\sin A + \cos A}{\sin A \cos A} \] This can be rewritten as: \[ = \csc A + \sec A \] ### Conclusion So, the expression simplifies to \( \sec A + \csc A \). ### Final Answer: The correct option is **1. sec A + cosec A**. ---
