Detailed Solution

Using trigonometric formulas,

cosec2A  cot2A = 1

cosec2A = 1 + cot2A

Using cosec A = 1sin A.

1sin2A = 1 + cot2A

Rearranging further we get,

sin2A = 11 + cot2A

Now, take square roots on both sides, we get

sinA = ±11 + cot2A

Hence we get the required result for sine function.

Now using the result,

sin2A = 11 + cot2A

As we know, sin2A = 1  cos2A

1  cos2A = 11 + cot2A

Rearranging further we get,

 cos2A =1- 11 + cot2A

 cos2A = 1 + cot2A-11 + cot2A= cot2A1 + cot2A

Using, Cos A = 1sec A

 1sec2A = cot2A1 + cot2A

sec2A =1+ cot2A cot2A

Now, square roots on both sides, we get

secA =±1+ cot2A cot2A=±1+ cot2Acot A

Hence we get the required result for secant function.

Now, as we know tan A=1cot A

Hence we get the required result for tangent function.
