Verify? 2cosx-secx=cosx-tanx/cscx

1 Answer

See below:

Explanation:

2cosx-secx=cosx-tanx/cscx

2cosx-1/cosx=cosx-(sinx/cosx)/(1/sinx)

2cosx-1/cosx=cosx-(sinx/cosx)xx(sinx)

2cosx-1/cosx=cosx-sin^2x/cosx

(2cos^2x)/cosx-1/cosx=cos^2x/cosx-sin^2x/cosx

(2cos^2x-1)/cosx=(cos^2x-sin^2x)/cosx

Use color(blue)(sin^2x+cos^2x=1)=>color(red)(sin^2x=1-cos^2x

(2cos^2x-1)/cosx=(cos^2x-(1-cos^2x))/cosx

(2cos^2x-1)/cosx=(cos^2x-1+cos^2x)/cosx

(2cos^2x-1)/cosx=(2cos^2x-1)/cosx
