Prove the following Identities :
Question 1.

Solution:

Question 2.

Solution:

Question 3.

Solution:

Question 4.

Solution:

Question 5.
sin⁴A – cos⁴ A = 2 sin²A-1 
Solution:
L.H.S. = sin⁴ A – cos⁴A = (sin²A)²-(cos²A)²
= (sin²A + cos²A) (sin²A – cos²A)     [(a² – b² = (a + b) (a – b)]
= 1 (sin² A – cos²A) [∵ sin²A + cos²A = 1]
= sin² A – (1- sin²A) (∵ cos²A = 1 – sin²A)
= sin² A – 1 + sin² A
= 2 sin²A-1 = R.H.S.

Question 6.
(1 – tan A)² + (1 + tanA)² = 2sec²A
Solution:
LHS = (1 -tanA)² + (1 +tanA)²
= 1 + tan² A- 2 tan A + 1 + tan² A + 2 tanA
= 2 + 2 tan² A = 2 (1+tan²A)
= 2 sec²A (∵ l+tan²A=sec²A)
= R.H.S.

Question 7.
Cosec⁴ A – cosec² A = cot⁴ A + cot² A
Solution:
L.H.S. = cosec⁴ A -cosec² A
= (cosec²A)² – cosec²A
= (1 + cot²A)² – (1 + cot²A)
= 1 + cot⁴ A + 2 cot²A – 1- cot²A
= cot⁴ A + cot² A = R.H.S.

Question 8.
sec A (1-sin A) (sec A + tan A) = 1
Solution:

Question 9.
cosec A (1 + cos A) (cosec A – cot A) = 1
Solution:

Question 10.
sec² A + cosec²A = sec² A cosec² A
Solution:

Question 11.

Solution:

Question 12.
tan²A – sin²A = tan² A. sin² A
Solution:

Question 13.
cot² A – cos² A = cos² A. cot² A
Solution:

Question 14.
(cosecA + sinA) (cosec A – sinA) = cot² A + cos²A
Solution:
L.H.S. = (cosec A + sin A) (cosec A – sin A)
= (cosec²A – sin² A) [∵ (a + b) (a – b) = a²– b²]
= 1 + cot² A – sin² A = cot² A + 1 – sin²A
= cot² A + cos² A (∵ 1-sin²A = cos² A)
= R.H.S.

Question 15.
(sec A – cosA) (sec A + cosA) = sin² A + tan²A
Solution:
L.H.S. = (sec A-cos A) (sec A + cos A)
= sec² A – cos² A
= 1 + tan²A-cos² A
= 1-cos² A + tan² A
= sin² A + tan² A  (∵ 1- cos²A=sin²A)
= R.H.S.

Question 16.
(cos A + sin A)² + (cos A – sin A)² = 2
Solution:
LHS = (cos A + sin A)² + (cos A – sin A)²
= cos² A + sin² A + 2 cos A sin A + cos² A + sin² A – 2 cos A sin A
= 2 sin² A + 2 cos² A
= 2 (sin²A+cos²A)
= 2 x 1=2 = R.H.S. (∵ sin²A + cos² A = 1)

Question 17.
(cosec A – sin A) (sec A – cos A) (tan A + cot A) = 1
Solution:

Question 18.

Solution:

Question 19.

Solution:

Question 20.

Solution:

Question 21.
(sin A + cosec A)² + (cos A + sec A)² = 7 + tan² A + cot² A
Solution:
L.H.S. = (sin A + cosecA)² + (cosA+ secA)²
= sin² A + cosec² A + 2 sin A cosec A + cos² A + sec² A + 2 cos A sec A
= sin² A+cosec² A+2 sin A x \(\frac { 1 }{ sinA }\) + cos² A+sec²A + 2cosA x \(\frac { 1 }{ cosA }\)
= sin²A + cos² A + cosec² A + sec²A+ 2 + 2   (∵ sin² A + cos²A= 1)
= 1 +cosec²A + sec²A + 4
= (1 + cot² A) + (1 + tan² A) + 5 [∵ cosec²A = 1 + cot² A and sec² A = 1 + tan²A]
= 1 + cot² A + 1 + tan² A + 5
= 7 + tan²A + cot²A = R.H.S.

Question 22.
