Question
`1+(tan^2 theta)/((1+ sec theta))= sec theta`
Solution
LHS = 1+`(tan^2 theta)/((1+ sec theta))`
=` 1+ ((sec^2 theta-1))/((sec theta + 1))`
=`1+((sec theta +1)(sec theta-1))/((sec theta +1))`
=`1+ (sec theta-1)`
=`sec theta`
= RHS

If sec θ = `25/7`, find the value of tan θ.
Solution:
1 + tan2 θ = sec2 θ
∴ 1 + tan2 θ = `(25/7)^square`
∴ tan2 θ = `625/49 - square`
= `(625 - 49)/49`
= `square/49`
∴ tan θ = `square/7` ........(by taking square roots)
