sabhyatadhawan: so plz
kumarsuresh237p9qz6n: sec2theta - tan2 theta = 1
kumarsuresh237p9qz6n: trigonometric identity
kumarsuresh237p9qz6n: now use the formula a^2-b^2 = (a+b) (a-b)

Answer: \frac{1}{x}


Step-by-step explanation:

as we know

sec²α = 1 + tan²α

⇒sec²α - tan²α = 1

we know that

a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)

so

(sec α - tan α )(sec α + tan α ) = 1

(sec α - tan α ) * x = 1

⇒(sec α - tan α )  = \frac{1}{x}
