Question

If secѲ + tan Ѳ = p, find the value of cosecѲ.

Answer 1

secθ+tanθ=p ----------------------(1)
∵, sec²θ-tan²θ=1
or, (secθ+tanθ)(secθ-tanθ)=1
or, secθ-tanθ=1/p ----------------(2)
Adding (1) and (2) we get,
2secθ=p+1/p
or, secθ=(p²+1)/2p
∴, cosθ=1/secθ=2p/(p²+1)
∴, sinθ=√(1-cos²θ)
=√[1-{2p/(p²+1)}²]
=√[1-4p²/(p²+1)²]
=√[{(p²+1)²-4p²}/(p²+1)²]
=√[(p⁴+2p²+1-4p²)/(p²+1)²]
=√(p⁴-2p²+1)/(p²+1)
=√(p²-1)²/(p²+1)
=(p²-1)/(p²+1)
∴, cosecθ=1/sinθ=1/[(p²-1)/(p²+1)]=(p²+1)/(p²-1) Ans.
