Question
If 5 secθ – 12 cosecθ = 0, find the values of secθ, cosθ, and sinθ.

Solution
5secθ - 12cosecθ = 0
⇒ 5secθ = 12cosecθ
⇒ `5xx1/cosθ=12xx1/sinθ`
⇒ `5/cosθ = 12/sinθ`
⇒ `sinθ/cosθ = 12/5`
⇒ tanθ = `12/5 ...[tanθ=sinθ/cosθ]`
We have,
sec2θ = 1 + tan2θ
⇒ sec2θ = 1 + `(12/5)^2`
⇒ sec2θ = 1 + `144/25`
⇒ sec2θ = `169/25`
Taking square root on both sides,
`sqrt(sec^2θ)=sqrt(169/25)`
∴ secθ = `13/5`
Now,
cosθ = `1/secθ`
⇒ cosθ = `1/(13/5)`
⇒ cosθ = `5/13`
Also,
`sinθ/cosθ` = tanθ
⇒ sinθ = tanθ × cosθ
⇒ sinθ = `12/5 xx 5/13 = 12/13`
Thus, the values of secθ, cosθ and sinθ are `13/5, 5/13 and 12/13` respectively.
