2)  

 If  x= a secØ + b tanØ and

     y= a tanØ + b secØ, then prove that x2 - y2 = a2 - b2



Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

 

      TO PROVE: x2 - y2 = a2 - b2

      PROOF:

              L.H.S. = x2 - y2

       =(a sec Ø + b tan Ø ) - (a tanØ + b secØ )2

       =[(a secØ ) + 2(a secØ ) (b tanØ ) + (b tanØ )2]

            - [(a tanØ )2 + 2 (a tanØ ) (b sinØ ) + (b sec Ø)2]

       = (a2 sec2Ø+ 2 ab secØ  tanØ + b2 tanØ)

             -(a2 tan2Ø+ 2 ab tanØ  secØ  + b2  sec2Ø)

       = ( a2 sec2 Ø+ 2 ab secØ  tanØ + b2 tan2Ø)

            - (a2 tan2 Ø - 2 ab tanØ secØ + b2 sec2Ø) 

       = a2 sec2Ø- a2 tan2 Ø _ b2 tan2Ø- b2 sec2Ø

 

       = a2 (sec2Ø  - tan2Ø) - b2  (secØ- tan2Ø)

 

       =a2 (1) - b2 (1)

      =a2 - b2 = RHS 

           so R.H.S = L.H.S         Hence proved.
