Practicing Success
If $5 \cos \theta=3$, then the value of $\tan \theta-\sec \theta$ is: |
$-\frac{5}{3}$ $\frac{4}{3}$ $-\frac{1}{3}$ $\frac{1}{3}$ |
$-\frac{1}{3}$ |
cosθ = \(\frac{3}{5}\) = \(\frac{B}{H}\) Now, using pythagoras theorem H² = P²+ B² 5² = P² + 3² 25 = P² + 9 P² = 16 P = 4 Now, tanθ - secθ = \(\frac{P}{B}\) - \(\frac{H}{B}\) = \(\frac{4}{3}\) - \(\frac{5}{3}\) = - \(\frac{1}{3}\) The correct answer is Option (3) → $-\frac{1}{3}$ |
