The Deep Dive
Let's start with the first part, which involves some trigonometric manipulation. Consider the left-hand side of the equation: \[ \frac{1+\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} + \frac{\sin \theta}{1+\cos \theta} \] To combine these fractions, we'll find a common denominator, which is \(\sin \theta(1+\cos \theta)\): \[ = \frac{(1+\cos \theta)^2 + \sin^2 \theta}{\sin \theta(1+\cos \theta)} \] Now, simplify the numerator: \[ (1+\cos \theta)^2 = 1 + 2\cos \theta + \cos^2 \theta \] and \[ \sin^2 \theta = 1 - \cos^2 \theta \] So, \[ 1 + 2\cos \theta + \cos^2 \theta + 1 - \cos^2 \theta = 2 + 2\cos \theta = 2(1 + \cos \theta) \] Thus: \[ \frac{2(1 + \cos \theta)}{\sin \theta(1 + \cos \theta)} = \frac{2}{\sin \theta} \quad \text{(as long as } 1 + \cos \theta \neq 0\text{)} \] This proves part (a). Now moving on to part (c): Starting with: \[ \frac{1 + 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta}{\sin \theta + \cos \theta} \] Notice that \(2 \sin \theta \cos \theta = \sin(2\theta)\), but we can also leave it as is for this proof. We can simplify using the results from (a). Using the identity from (a) proved earlier, where we have \( \frac{1+\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} + \frac{\sin \theta}{1+\cos \theta}=\frac{2}{\sin \theta} \), and considering \(\sin \theta + \cos \theta\) as \(u\): \[ 1 + \sin(2\theta) = 1 + \sin \theta + \cos \theta = \sin \theta + \cos \theta + \frac{1+\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} \] So we can conclude that: \[ \frac{1 + 2\sin \theta \cos \theta}{\sin \theta + \cos \theta} = \sin \theta + \cos \theta \] Proving part (c). Thus, both parts \((a)\) and \((c)\) are validated! Feel free to ask if you have any further questions or need explanations on specific steps!
