how do i prove this identity?
many thanks.
Starting from the right
(1 - Cosθ) / Sinθ = 1/Sinθ - Cosθ/Sinθ = Cosecθ - Cotθ
Multiply Numerator and Denominator by Cosecθ + Cotθ
[(Cosecθ - Cotθ)(Cosecθ + Cotθ)] / (Cosecθ + Cotθ)
(Cosec²θ - Cot²θ)/(Cosecθ + Cotθ)
= 1/(Cosecθ + Cotθ)
(Since Cosec²θ - Cot²θ = 1)
caution : put parenthesis...
hope it' ll help !!
