Question

Prove the following identities: $(1+\tan\alpha\tan\beta)^2+(\tan\alpha-\tan\beta)^2=\sec^2\alpha\sec^2\beta$

Answer

$\text{L.H.S}=(1+\tan\alpha\tan\beta)^2+(\tan\alpha-\tan\beta)^2$ $=1(\tan\alpha+\tan\beta)^2+2.1\tan\alpha\tan\beta\\\ \ +(\tan\alpha)^2+(\tan\beta)^2-1\tan\alpha.\tan\beta$ $(\text{Using(a+b)}^2=\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2+2\text{ab and (a-b)}^2=\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2-2\text{ab})$ $=1+\tan^2\alpha+\tan^2\beta+2\tan\alpha\tan\beta+\tan^2\alpha+\tan^2\beta-2\tan\alpha\tan\beta$ $=1+\tan^2\alpha+\tan^2\alpha+\tan^2\beta+\tan^2\beta$ $=\sec^2\alpha+\tan^2\beta(1+\tan^2\alpha)$$(\because1+\tan^2\alpha=\sec^2\alpha)$ $=\sec^2\alpha+\tan^2\beta.\sec^2\alpha$ $=\sec^2\alpha(1+\tan^2\beta)$ $=\sec^2\alpha.\sec^2\beta$ $(\because1+\tan^2\beta=\sec^2\beta)$ $=\text{R.H.S}$ $\text{Proved}$
