Question
if `cot theta = 3/4` prove that `sqrt((sec theta - cosec theta)/(sec theta +cosec theta)) = 1/sqrt7`

Solution
`cot theta = "๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐ ๐๐๐"/"๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ ๐ ๐๐๐"`
Let x be the hypotenuse by applying Pythagoras theorem.
๐ด๐ถ2 = ๐ด๐ต2 + ๐ต๐ถ2
๐ฅ2 = 16 + 9
`x^2 = 25 => x = 5`
`sec theta = (AC)/(AB) = 5/4`
`cosec theta = (AC)/(AB) = 5/4`
On substituting in equation we get
`sqrt((sec theta - cosec theta)/(sec theta + cosec theta)) = sqrt((5/3 - 5/4)/(5/3 + 5/4))`
`= sqrt(((20 - 15)/12)/((20 + 15)/12)) = sqrt(5/35) = 1/sqrt7`

Prove that sec θ + tan θ = `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)`.
Proof: L.H.S. = sec θ + tan θ
= `1/square + square/square`
= `square/square` ......`(โต sec θ = 1/square, tan θ = square/square)`
= `((1 + sin θ) square)/(cos θ square)` ......[Multiplying `square` with the numerator and denominator]
= `(1^2 - square)/(cos θ square)`
= `square/(cos θ square)`
= `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)` = R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ sec θ + tan θ = `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)`

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