Question

Prove that :-

tanA + 2tan2A + 4tan4A + 8cot8A = cosecA / secA

Joshi sir comment

We have to prove

tanA + 2tan2A + 4tan4A + 8cot8A = cosecA / secA

or tanA + 2tan2A + 4tan4A + 8cot8A = cotA

or 2tan2A + 4tan4A + 8cot8A = cotA - tanA

or tan2A + 2tan4A + 4cot8A = [1-tan2A]/2tanA

or tan2A + 2tan4A + 4cot8A = cot2A

or 2tan4A + 4cot8A = cot2A - tan2A

or tan4A + 2cot8A = [1-tan22A]/2tan2A

or tan4A + 2cot8A = cot4A

or 2cot8A = cot4A-tan4A

or cot8A = [1-tan24A]/2tan4A

it is true so proved
