Question:

If sinθ =  \(\frac{7}{25}\), then find the value of tanθ + cotθ .

Options:

1

0

\(\frac{168}{625}\)

\(\frac{625}{168}\)

Correct Answer:

\(\frac{625}{168}\)

Explanation:

sinθ =  \(\frac{7}{25}\)

⇒ sinθ = \(\frac{7(P)}{25(H)}\)

using Pythagoras theorem , 

Base = 24

tanθ + cotθ  = \(\frac{P}{B}\)  +  \(\frac{B}{P}\) 

= \(\frac{7}{24}\)  + \(\frac{24}{7}\)   

\(\frac{625}{168}\)
