उत्तर
Given: sinθ = `8/17`
We know that sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
∴ cos2θ = 1 - sin2θ
∴ cos θ = `sqrt(1 - sin^2θ)`
Using given
`cosθ = sqrt(1 - (8/17)^2) = sqrt(1 - 8^2/17^2)`
∴ cos θ = `sqrt((17^2 - 8^2)/17^2) = sqrt(289 - 64)/17`
∴ cos θ = `sqrt(225)/17 = 15/17`
∴ cos θ = `15/17`

Prove that: (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) = tan θ.sec θ
Proof: L.H.S. = (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ)
= `(1/square - cos θ) (square/square + square/square)` ......`[∵ sec θ = 1/square, cot θ = square/square and tan θ = square/square]`
= `((1 - square)/square) ((square + square)/(square square))`
= `square/square xx 1/(square square)` ......`[(∵ square + square = 1),(∴ square = 1 - square)]`
= `square/(square square)`
= tan θ.sec θ
= R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) = tan θ.sec θ
