Question:

If sec θ + tan θ = 7; then find value of secθ.tanθ

Options:

\(\frac{600}{49}\)

\(\frac{315}{49}\)

\(\frac{300}{65}\)

1

Correct Answer:

\(\frac{600}{49}\)

Explanation:

secθ + tanθ = 7

⇒ secθ - tanθ = \(\frac{1}{7}\)

4secθ.tanθ = (secθ + tanθ)2 - (secθ- tanθ)2

⇒ 4secθ.tanθ = 72 - (\(\frac{1}{7}\)2

⇒ 4secθ.tanθ = 49 - \(\frac{1}{49}\)

⇒ 4secθtanθ =  \(\frac{2401 - 1}{49}\)

⇒ 4secθ.tanθ =  \(\frac{2400}{49}\)

⇒ secθ.tanθ = \(\frac{600}{49}\)
