How do you prove #sintheta=+-tantheta/(sqrt(1+tan^2theta))#? Trigonometry Trigonometric Identities and Equations Proving Identities 1 Answer Bdub Mar 8, 2018 See Below Explanation: #RHS: +-tan theta/(sqrt(1+tan^2theta))# #=+-tan theta/sqrt(sec^2theta)# #=tan theta/sec theta#->since we are squaring #sectheta# the result is always positive so we drop the negative sign. #=(sin theta/cos theta)/(1/costheta)# #=sin theta/cancelcos theta * cancelcos theta/1# #=sin theta# #=LHS# Answer link Related questions What does it mean to prove a trigonometric identity?
