Question
If sec θ = `25/7`, find the value of tan θ.
Solution:
1 + tan2 θ = sec2 θ
∴ 1 + tan2 θ = `(25/7)^square`
∴ tan2 θ = `625/49 - square`
= `(625 - 49)/49`
= `square/49`
∴ tan θ = `square/7` ........(by taking square roots)

Solution
1 + tan2 θ = sec2 θ
∴ 1 + tan2 θ = `(25/7)^2`
∴ tan2 θ = `625/49 - 1`
= `(625 - 49)/49`
= `576/49`
∴ tan θ = `24/7` ........(by taking square roots)

Show that, cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ
Solution :
L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ
= `cosθ/sinθ + sinθ/cosθ`
= `(square + square)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`
= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ............... `square`
= `1/sinθ xx 1/square`
= cosecθ × secθ
L.H.S. = R.H.S
∴ cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ
Statement 1: sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
Statement 2: cosec2θ + cot2θ = 1
