Question
If sec θ = `25/7`, then find the value of tan θ.
Advertisements
Solution
∵ sec2θ – tan2θ = 1 ......[Identities]
`(25/7)^2 - ("tan" theta)^2 = 1`
`625/49 -1 = ("tan" theta)^2`
`(625 - 49)/49 = ("tan" theta)^2`
`576/49 = ("tan" theta)^2`
`"tan" theta = 24/7`

Activity: L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ
= `cosθ/sinθ + square/cosθ`
= `(square + sin^2theta)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`
= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ....... ∵ `square`
