Can some one pls help, thank
We start from the left side.
Make the numerator in part ii become (sin A + cos A)².
Convert cos 2A into cos² A - sin² A before factorising it into (cos A - sin A) (cos A + sin A).
Then the LHS becomes (cos A + sin A) / (cos A - sin A).
Divide both the numerator and the denominator each by cos A.
You will obtain the right side expression.
The cosine-sine version is useful because of the factorisation of the difference of two squares algebraic identity.
The cosine-only version is useful in the situation of 1 + cos 2A where the “1” will vanish later on.
The sine-only version is useful in the situation of 1 - cos 2A where the “1” will vanish later on.
