@Michele_Laino

we have to apply these identities:
\[\sec A = \frac{1}{{\cos A}},\quad \csc A = \frac{1}{{\sin A}}\]

?
imqwerty (imqwerty):
have u tried to solve the expression?? try converting the terms into sin nd cos form nd then take the LCM nd solve
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
left side becomes:
\[\sec A + {\left( {\csc A} \right)^2} = \frac{1}{{\cos A}} + {\left( {\frac{1}{{\sin A}}} \right)^2} = ...\]
please continue

i'm confused
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
I think that there is a typo into your original expression, please check
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
fixed
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
ok! so left side becomes:
\[{\left( {\sec A} \right)^2} + {\left( {\csc A} \right)^2} = {\left( {\frac{1}{{\cos A}}} \right)^2} + {\left( {\frac{1}{{\sin A}}} \right)^2} = ...\]
imqwerty (imqwerty):
ok m calling sinA = x
nd cosA=y
1/y^2 +1/x^2
take LCM we get -
(x^2 + y^2)/(xy)^2
we know that sin^2A+cos^2A = 1
therefore the numerator = 1
nd we r left with
1/(xy)^2
=sec^A cosec^A

sin^2(A)+cos^2(A)/cos(A)sin(A) = RHS
imqwerty (imqwerty):
yes
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
1/sin(A)cos(A) = sec(A)cosec(A) = RHS
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
more precisely, it is:
sin^2(A)+cos^2(A)/cos(A)^2 sin(A)^2 = RHS
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
ok!thanks...
