sin⁡θ(1+cos⁡θ)\dfrac{\sin \theta}{(1+ \cos \theta)} is equal to

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Multiply both numerator and denominator by (1−cos⁡θ)(1 - \cos \theta):

sin⁡θ1+cos⁡θ×1−cos⁡θ1−cos⁡θ\dfrac{\sin \theta}{1+ \cos \theta} \times \dfrac{1 - \cos \theta}{1 - \cos \theta}


The denominator becomes:

(1+cos⁡θ)(1−cos⁡θ)=1−cos⁡2θ=sin⁡2θ(1 + \cos \theta)(1 - \cos \theta) = 1 - \cos^2 \theta = \sin^2 \theta


The numerator becomes:

sin⁡θ(1−cos⁡θ)=sin⁡θ−sin⁡θcos⁡θ\sin \theta (1 - \cos \theta) = \sin \theta - \sin \theta \cos \theta


Therefore:

sin⁡θ−sin⁡θcos⁡θsin⁡2θ\dfrac{\sin \theta - \sin \theta \cos \theta}{\sin^2 \theta}

=sin⁡θ(1−cos⁡θ)sin⁡2θ= \dfrac{\sin \theta(1 - \cos \theta)}{\sin^2 \theta}

=1−cos⁡θsin⁡θ= \dfrac{1 - \cos \theta}{\sin \theta}
