Question

If sin theta=x and sec theta=y then find the value of cot theta.

Answer 1

hello users ......

we have given that :
sin ( theta ) = x 
and 
sec (theta ) = y 

we have to find
cot (theta )  = ?

solution:-
we know that :
sec x = 1 / cos x 

=> cos x = 1 / sec x 

here,
cos ( theta ) = 1 / sec ( theta ) = 1 / y 

now,
cot (theta) = cos (theta ) / sin ( theta )
= (1 / y )  / x 
= 1 / xy answer 

** hope it helps **
