What is the value of ( 1+ tanθ - secθ) ( 1 + cot θ+ cosec θ) ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
( 1 + tanθ - secθ) ( 1 + cot θ+ cosec θ)
Put θ = 45°
(1 + tan45 - sec45)(1 + cot45 + cosec45)
= (1 + 1 - $\sqrt{2}$)(1 + 1 + $\sqrt{2}$)
= (2 + $\sqrt{2}$)(2 + $\sqrt{2}$)
= (4 - ($\sqrt{2}$)²) [(a+b)(a-b) = a²-b²}
= 2
