    1. This document contains proofs of trigonometric identities involving secant, cosecant, tangent, and their double and half angle formulas. It first proves the identity sec S + cosec S = sec S cosec S and evaluates the expression tan(2tan^-1(x)) = x. 2. The second part shows that the expression sec 2x + tan 2x can be rewritten as tan(x + π/2) and hence the equation sec 2x + tan 2x = tan x has no real solutions since tan x cannot equal -1.

    Basic Phythagorean Identities

    1. Prove that sec SOLUTION sec + cosec = = = sec = + + cosec = sec cosec

    Double Angle Formulae and Half Angle Formulae


    1. By using the formula tan SOLUTION From tan Tan 2 ( Hen ce, 2 tan ) =1 , = , evaluate tan

    Tan

    Tan Since the terminal line Therefore, tan = lies in the first quadrant, tan > 0

    2. Show that sec 2x + tan 2x = tan (

    hence, show that the

    trigonometric equation sec 2x + tan 2x + tan x has no real solution. SOLUTION Sec 2x + tan 2x = = = =

    = Dividing the numerator and denominator with cos x, Sec 2x + tan 2x = = = tan (

    If sec 2x + tan 2x = tan x, then, tan (

    1 + tan x = tan x tan x Tan x = -1 Since tan x for all real values of x, tan x = -1 has no real solutions, and

    hence, the equation sec 2x + tan 2x = tan x has no real solution.
