Question
If θ lies in the second quadrant, then show that `sqrt((1 - sin theta)/(1 + sin theta)) + sqrt((1 + sin theta)/(1 - sin theta))` = −2sec θ

Solution
We have
`sqrt((1 - sin theta)/(1 + sin theta)) + sqrt((1 + sin theta)/(1 - sin theta)) = (1 - sin theta)/sqrt(1 - sin^2theta) + (1 + sin theta)/sqrt(1 - sin^2theta)`
= `2/sqrt(cos^2theta)`
= `2/|cos theta|` .....(Since `sqrt(alpha^2)` = |α| for every real number α)
Given that θ lies in the second quadrant
So |cos θ| = – cos θ .....(Since cos θ < 0).
Hence, the required value of the expression is `2/(-costheta) = - 2 sectheta`

Let the angles of the quadrilateral be \[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ \text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\]
We know: \[a - 3d + a - d + a + d + a - 2d = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4a = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 90\]
We have:
Greatest angle = 120°
Now,
\[a + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 90 + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3d = 30\]
\[ \Rightarrow d = 10\]
Hence,
\[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ\text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\] are
