उत्तर
We know `sin theta = "𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒"/"ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒"`

Let x be the adjacent side
By applying Pythagoras theorem
𝐴𝐶2 = 𝐴𝐵2 + 𝐵𝐶2
b2 = a2 + x2
x2 = b2 − a2
`x = sqrt(b^2 - a^2)`
`sec theta = (AB)/(BC) = b/(sqrt(b^2 - a^2))`
`tan theta = (AB)/(BC) = a/(sqrt(b^2 - a^2))`
`sec theta + tan theta = b/(b^2 - a^2) + a/(sqrt(b^2 - a^2))`
`= (b + a)/(sqrt(b^2 - a^2)) = (b+ a)/sqrt((b + a)(b - a)) = (b + a)/sqrt(b + a) - 1/(sqrt(b - a)) = sqrt((b + a)/(b - a))`

Prove that: cot θ + tan θ = cosec θ·sec θ
Proof: L.H.S. = cot θ + tan θ
= `square/square + square/square` ......`[∵ cot θ = square/square, tan θ = square/square]`
= `(square + square)/(square xx square)` .....`[∵ square + square = 1]`
= `1/(square xx square)`
= `1/square xx 1/square`
= cosec θ·sec θ ......`[∵ "cosec" θ = 1/square, sec θ = 1/square]`
= R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ cot θ + tan θ = cosec·sec θ
