could see some examples of trigonometry with their solutions:

Solved Examples
Question 1: Prove the following identity:

Solution:
LHS = (sec - cose)(1 + tan + cot)
=

(sincossincos)(sincos+1sincos)

[Using identities, sec = 1cos, cose = 1sin, tan = sincos and cot = cossin]
=

(sincos)(sin cos+1)sin2 cos2

(sincos)(sin cos+sin2+cos2)sin2 cos2

[Using, sin2+cos2 = 1]

= tan sec - cotcosc

= RHS

Question 2:
Prove the following identity:

Solution:
LHS = 1 + 2sec2A tan2A - sec4A - tan4A
= 1 - (sec4A - 2sec2A tan2A + tan4A)

[Using identity, sec2A - tan2A = 1]

=1-1
=0
= RHS
Question 3: Prove the following identity:

Solution:
LHS = [1sinAcosAcosA(secAcosecA)][sin2Acos2Asin3A+cos3A]

= [1sinAcosAcosA(1cosA1sinA)][(sinA+cosA)(sinAcosA)(sinA+cosA)
(sin2AsinAcosA+cos2A)]
[Using identities, sec = 1cos, cose = 1sin, sin2A - cos2A = (sin A + cos A)(sin A - cos A) and
sin3A + cos3A = (sin A + cos A)(sin2 A - sin A cos A + cos2A)]
= [1sinAcosAsinAcosAsinA][sinAcosAsin2AsinAcosA+cos2A] [By
cancelling common terms]
= sin A[1sinAcosAsinAcosA] * [sinAcosA1sinAcosA]
[Using identity sin2 A + cos2 A = 1]
= sin A (By cancelling common terms)

= RHS

Solved Examples
Question 1:

Solution:
If tan A + sin A = m .................. (1)
tan A - sin A = n ................... (2)
Step 1:
Adding (1) and (2)

Step 2:
Subtracting (2) from (1)

Now

[Using, (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab and (a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab]

Question 2:
Solution:

= 12+1 * 2121 cos

= (2 - 1)cos

Question 3:
If x sin3 + y cos3 = sin cos and x sin - y cos = 0. Prove that x2 + y2 = 1.

Solution:
