Question
Prove - tanA+cotA can never be equal to 3/2
Read 1 Solution.
LHS= tanA+cotA= sinA/cosA +cosA/sinA
= take lcm .then after taking lcm we get ,( sin2A+cos2A)/sinA.cosA= 1/(sinA.cosA) = 2/2sinAcosA { multiplying and dividing the numerator by 2} =2/sin2A =2cosec2A
now we know that ........ cosec2A is always greater than or equal to 1 { yes of course always less than -1 also, but we dont need to consider it in this problem}
so....... cosec2a>or = 1
2cosec2A>=2 ..... so here we can say tanA +cotA is not equal to 3/2 since it has to be greater than or equal to 2.
hence,proved
