Question
If `sec theta = x ,"write the value of tan" theta`.

Solution
As , `tan^2 theta = sec^2 theta -1 `
So, `tan theta = sqrt( sec^2 theta -1 ) = sqrt( x^2 -1)`

Given that sinθ + 2cosθ = 1, then prove that 2sinθ – cosθ = 2.
If cot θ = `40/9`, find the values of cosec θ and sinθ,
We have, 1 + cot2θ = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
`(square + square)/square` = cosec2θ
`square/square` = cosec2θ ......[Taking root on the both side]
cosec θ = `41/9`
and sin θ = `1/("cosec" θ)`
sin θ = `1/square`
∴ sin θ = `9/41`
The value is cosec θ = `41/9`, and sin θ = `9/41`
