Question
`(sec^2 theta -1)(cosec^2 theta - 1)=1`
Solution
LHS = `(sec^2 theta -1)(cosec^2 theta-1)`
=`tan^2 theta xx cot^2 theta ( ∵ sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta = 1 and cosec^2 theta - cot^2 theta =1)`
=` tan^2 theta xx1/(cos^2theta)`
=1
=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)
