Question 61

If tanA - cotA = x, then value of x is?

Solution

Expression : $$tanA - cotA = x$$

= $$\frac{sin A}{cos A} - \frac{cos A}{sin A}$$

= $$\frac{sin^2 A - cos^2 A}{sin A cos A}$$

Using, $$sin^2 A = 1 - cos^2 A$$

= $$\frac{(1 - cos^2 A) - cos^2 A}{sin A cos A}$$

= $$\frac{1 - 2cos^2 A}{sin A cos A}$$
