To prove this equation, we will start by simplifying the left-hand side (LHS) of the equation and then manipulate it step by step until it matches the right-hand side (RHS) of the equation.
Given equation:
(sin²(Ω) - cos²(Ω)) / (tan(Ω) sin(Ω) + cos(Ω) tan(Ω)) = cos(Ω) - cot(Ω) cos(Ω)
Step 1: Simplify the LHS.
The numerator, sin²(Ω) - cos²(Ω), can be written as sin²(Ω) - (1 - sin²(Ω)) by using the trigonometric identity cos²(Ω) = 1 - sin²(Ω).
Substituting this result into the numerator:
[ sin²(Ω) - (1 - sin²(Ω))] / (tan(Ω) sin(Ω) + cos(Ω) tan(Ω))
Step 2: Simplify further.
Expanding the numerator:
[sin²(Ω) - 1 + sin²(Ω)] / (tan(Ω) sin(Ω) + cos(Ω) tan(Ω))
Combining like terms in the numerator:
[2sin²(Ω) - 1] / (tan(Ω) sin(Ω) + cos(Ω) tan(Ω))
Step 3: Simplify the denominator.
The denominator, (tan(Ω) sin(Ω) + cos(Ω) tan(Ω)), can be factored out:
[tan(Ω)(sin(Ω) + cos(Ω))] / (tan(Ω) sin(Ω) + cos(Ω) tan(Ω))
Step 4: Cancel out common terms.
The (tan(Ω) sin(Ω) + cos(Ω) tan(Ω)) terms in the numerator and denominator can be canceled out:
[2sin²(Ω) - 1] / 1
Simplifying further:
2sin²(Ω) - 1
Now, we have:
2sin²(Ω) - 1 = cos(Ω) - cot(Ω) cos(Ω)
Step 5: Rewrite cot(Ω) as cos(Ω)/sin(Ω) using the trigonometric identity.
cos(Ω) - (cos(Ω)/sin(Ω)) cos(Ω)
Step 6: Simplify further.
Using the distributive property:
cos(Ω) - (cos²(Ω)/sin(Ω))
Step 7: Rewrite cos²(Ω) as 1 - sin²(Ω).
cos(Ω) - [(1 - sin²(Ω))/sin(Ω)]
Step 8: Simplify further.
Expanding the denominator:
cos(Ω) - (1/sin(Ω)) + (sin²(Ω)/sin(Ω))
Step 9: Simplify the fractions.
Using the fact that 1/sin(Ω) is equal to csc(Ω):
cos(Ω) - csc(Ω) + sin(Ω)
This matches the RHS of the equation, cos(Ω) - cot(Ω) cos(Ω), which completes the proof.
