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
