Trigonometric Functions – Exercise 5.1 – Q.1
LHS = sec4 θ - sec2 θ
= sec2 θ(sec2 θ -1)
= (1 + tan2 θ) tan2 θ [∵ sec2 θ = 1 + tan2 θ]
= tan2 θ + tan4 θ
= tan4 θ + tan2 θ
= RHS
LHS = RHS

Trigonometric Functions – Exercise 5.1 – Q.2
LHS = sin6 θ + cos6 θ
= (sin2 θ)3 + (cos2 θ)3
= (sin2 θ + cos2 θ)[(sin2 θ)2 - sin2 θ cos2 θ + (cos2 θ)2] (∵ a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2))
= (sin2 θ)2 + (cos θ)2 + 2 sin2 θ cos2 θ - 2sin2 θ cos2 θ - sin2 θ = sin2 θ cos2 θ)
[adding and subtracting 2 sin2 θ cos2 θ and using identity sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1]
= (sin2 θ + cos2 θ)2 - 3 sin2 θ cos2 θ
= (sin2 θ + cos2 θ)2 - 3 sin2 θ cos2 θ
= 12 - 3 sin2 θ cos2 θ (∵ sin2 θ + cos2θ = 1)
= 1 - 3 sin2 θ cos2 θ
= RHS
∴ LHS = RHS

LHS = (sec A sec B + tan A tan B)2 - (sec A tan B + tan A sec B)2
= (sec A sec B)2 + (tan A tan B)2 +2sec A sec B tan A tan B - ((sec A tan B)2 + (tan A tan B)2 + 2sec A tan B tan A sec B) [using (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab]
= sec2 A sec2 B + tan2 A tan2 B + 2sec A sec B tan A tan B - sec2 A tan2 B - tan2 A sec2 B - 2sec A sec B tan A tan B [using (ab)2 = a2b2]
= sec2 A sec2 B - sec2 A tan2 B + tan2 A tan2 B - tan2 A sec2 B
= sec2 A(sec2 B - tan2 B)+ tan2 A(tan2 B - sec2 B)
= sec2 A 1 - tan2 A1 [∵ sec2 θ = 1 + tan2 θ ⟹ sec2 θ - tan2 θ = 1]
= 1 + tan2 A - tan2 A
= 1
= RHS
