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
