\underline{\textbf{Given:}}

\mathsf{sec\theta+tan\theta=5}

\underline{\textbf{To find:}}

\textsf{The value of}

\mathsf{sec\theta-tan\theta}

\underline{\textbf{Solution:}}

\underline{\textbf{Identity used:}}

\mathsf{sec^2A-tan^2A=1}

\textsf{Using the above identity,}

\mathsf{sec^2\theta-tan^2\theta=1}

\mathsf{(sec\theta)^2-(tan\theta)^2=1}

\textsf{Using the identity}\;\boxed{\mathsf{a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)}}

\mathsf{we\;get}

\mathsf{(sec\theta-tan\theta)(sec\theta+tan\theta)=1}

\mathsf{(sec\theta-tan\theta)(5)=1}

\implies\boxed{\mathsf{sec\theta-tan\theta=\dfrac{1}{5}}}
