Verify the identity.
sin(α + β) / (cos α cos β) = tan α + tan β
Rewrite the numerator on the left side of the identity using one of the sum and difference formulas.

Answer

To verify the identity, we start by rewriting the numerator using the sine sum formula:

  1. Sine Sum Formula: sin(α + β) = sin α cos β + cos α sin β

Substitute this into the identity:

  1. sin(α + β) / (cos α cos β) = (sin α cos β + cos α sin β) / (cos α cos β)

Separate the terms:

  1. (sin α cos β) / (cos α cos β) + (cos α sin β) / (cos α cos β)

Simplify each term:

  1. tan α + tan β

Thus, the identity is verified.
