Question

Verify the identity. sin() tan() = cos() use a reciprocal identity to rewrite the expression in terms of sine and cosine, and then simplify. sin

Answer 1

The identity Sin(α)/Tan(α) = Cos(α) is valid

Trigonometry is study of triangles. All trigonometric ratios are defined using the sides of the right triangle, such as an adjacent side, opposite side, and hypotenuse side. Three major of them are as follows :-

Sine Function:

sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse

Cosine Function:

cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Tangent Function:

tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent

Lets prove this identity by proceeding with the LHS

= Sin(α)/Tan(α)

= Sin(α)/ (Sin(α)/Cos(α)) (Tan(α) = Sin(α)/Cos(α))

= Sin(α)xCos(α) / Sin(α)

= Cos(α)

Hence verified
